Players like Crosby are rare and I take pleasure marvelling at the skill and competitive drive of these types of players.

I think it's not so much hating Crosby, as a combination of factors:
- the over-the top hype surrounding his draft year and the following year or two.
- a bit of envy and resentment that an undeserving team that tanked to get one generational talent (Lemieux) then wins a lottery to get another. Pretty similar to the current situation with the Oilers and McJesus.
- no matter how good a person/player someone is, there will always be a few detractors who can find some obscure reason to push him off the pedestal.
