No Points for Sidney Crosby in Game 1, But He Did Rip Off Jamie Drysdale’s Helmet and Flop for a Penalty

Get a load of this big baby. What a dirt ball:
It’s a little hard to tell in that second clip, but the replay from TV showed Crosby totally embellishing the contact from Travis Sanheim, who barely touched him. Worse than a Trae Young whistle from a few years ago. It looked like some sort of SGA flop or one of the Liga MX guys taking a dive.
This is what you’re dealing with then you play the Penguins, though. You do so much as lay a finger on the NHL’s Golden Boy and you risk a two-minute minor. Gotta stay disciplined and smart and can’t get caught up in Crosby’s nonsense.
There was a third incident, too, from the third period, when Crosby slashed Sanheim after a couple of back and forth cross checks.
Is this playoff hockey, or open skate at the Blue Cross River Rink? Get your shit together, Sid.
