Red Wings fans are quite familiar with hatred. As the NHL's most successful team over the last 15 years, people love to come up with any little theory in an attempt to bring them down. As far as Crosby goes, I don't hate him, but I don't like him either.
I am familiar with that as a Patriots fan. Nobody gave a rats ass about them when they were the doormat of the league for so long. They started winning, and the hatred started. Same with the Penguins. Nobody cared when they were losing year after year and talking of relocating. And criticisms of the Wings are no different than the Patriots, Yankees, etc. Some of it is warranted, some of it isn't.
