Imagine giving an opposing player a downward shove while he’s laying on top of your own goalies head. Nice one Dubois, fuggin smooth brain.

Props to Sid. As a former goalie I can appreciate somebody at least apologizing for something like that. Not much he could do there.

I know 'defend your goalie at all costs', but buddy, you can hear Crosby talking to Hele, don't come and try to rip him away, especially when he's still stuck around the net...

Class move by Crosby. Given his concussion history I'm sure that he had genuine concern for Hellebuyk.

[smudent]

that one handed deflection is unbelievable. The stuff sid does at high speed that that majority of hockey fans miss is amazing

Crosby would’ve barely made contact if Dubois didn’t hit him! Dubois also hit him when he was down, crushing him into Hellebuyck’s head more forcefully. I’m so sick of players blaming the opponent, when they are constantly putting their own goalie at risk like this.

As a former goalie... about 95% of contact was always due to my own players shoving, pushing, tripping, or cross checking the opposing player into me... I always tried to protect the player who was pushed out of control when possible... The other 5% was me initiating the contact to make a play...

Come on Dubois... you must be embarrassed

[Nick-gmcz]

Next level class from Sid. It took Helle a second but I think he realized Sid was checking to make sure he was ok. Dubois is a clown

[gburyhockey]

no one talking about that redirect? crosby is insane with hand eye

[wheelchairdynamo]

The shove on Crosby while on top of the goalie looked to do more harm to the goalie than Crosby landing on him, and I dislike Crosby so it's taking a real effort to stick up for him here

[tak]

why'd dubois shove him the second time into the goalie's head even more

[brianc]

I always love how the dummy that steers, pushes or forces a player into his own goalie is always the most upset by the collision. Dubois has Crosby’s right leg restricted, stick around C’s waist and lifting the weight off C’s front foot. Tough to defend when you’ve been beat for body position & nearly allow a game winner with seconds left. Dubois’ teammates should have swarmed him, not Crosby.

[Tribleman]

I love how Sid checks on the goalie, talks to him the entire time and Dubois starts getting involved the scrum when HE was the reason this happened, theres not enough accountability with in teams when this kind of things happens his team should seen the replay on the tron and immediately got after him for almost injuring their own goalie!

[ahmeeklegend]

Dubois and Crosby got tied up and momentum carried them into Helly, I think. I dislike how PLD hit Crosby when he was on Helly's head. That's your goalie bro. Let Sid get off him. Come on. Good on Crosby to make sure he's okay. Crosby has come a long way from his early career as far as maturity.

Sid is the best all around 200 ft hockey player to ever lace up a pair of skates. He does things that no one else in history can't do at half speed! Including Gretzky and Mario.

[normferguson]

I see Sid mouthing the “sorry man” afterwards. A true champion.

[nicohellsingiii]

As much as I’m not a fan of Cros, this was class.

[Chilly_Billy]

Sid is the epitome of a class act in sports. Sad that there aren't more.

[juviplays........]

I’m sorry but why did you grab Crosby’s jersey to pull him away when he was making sure Helle was ok..?
