When A Rookie Sidney Crosby Got ‘Bullied’ in the NHL

#nhl #hockey #pittsburghpenguins

Before Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews, and Nathan Mackinnon were targeted in the NHL.. Sidney Crosby was the shining example of getting extra attention. In this video, we break down a moment where Crosby proved to the league (especially the Philadelphia Flyers) that he would not be intimidated.

"Little cheap shots" my man lost 2 teeth on the play lol

[YoYoYoYoYoYoPeace]

Got abused like no other rookie superstar before and still put up 100+ points in his rookie season. People who call him a crybaby are metro division fans that have been absolutely tormented by Sid

[codypendency]

The fact that no one stood up for him on pittsburgh is patheitc

[ostry]

The more they booed him, the more he destroyed them. It was glorious.

Crosby is a top 5 Nhl player of all time. 36 years old and still a point per game is insane. Brought a franchise from the ashes to one of the best in the league. Always stood up for himself. Never disappeared in the playoffs. Just an all time gamer. If he didnt have those concussions his numbers would be insane right now.

[Matfridt]

Opposing fans can boo him and ridicule him all they want, he's given us 3 cups, a generational run of playoff appearances and an insane career despite multiple severe concussions. Idk how I'll cope when he retires

“Loses 2 teeth”
“Milks it a bit”

My brother in Christ I don’t think losing 2 teeth feels good.

[brandonmclean]

crazy that in hockey when after guy lost a few teeth that if he goes down for a few seconds its considered milking it.

[joshlaguardia]

he got popped in the mouth and lost a couple teeth and you say he “milked it” man i’d be on the ground for a bit lol.

[orangesharpy]

Crosby still the best after the Wayne and Mario days. He just gets it done and shows up in all the big games. Ovechkin is a goal scoring machine and such a physical package, McDavid is some kind of out of this world talent with the things he can do and how fast he does it but Crosby just finds a way to help his team win when it counts more so than any of them. OV came through with a Cup and McDavid is knocking on the door but to captain 3 Cups and 2 Olympic Golds with a target on his back and the spotlight on him every night, Man, what a player.

[brandonstojanovic]

Crosby played a full season against Philadelphia and still put up 124 pts against them, that is so crazy

[imclueless]

As someone who hated Crosby, gotta give it to him man. The kid ALWAYS showed up to play and he made DAMN sure to put some respect on his name. He is one of the greats and i gotta hand it to him.

[jaylytical]

I still remember being a kid and watching Crosby drop the mits in his first season as captain. From then I’ve always seen Crosby as a player who’ll do what he’s gotta do for his team to get the win

[StateOfMercury]

bro really said he milked losing 2 teeth

[Childofbhaal]

Clean hits are one thing but these dirty plays are a whole nother. That stuff doesn’t belong in hockey imo

[calook]

Not even a Penguins fan, just a Crosby fan. He's actually a fantastic person off the ice and is unbelievably NUTS on the ice. Man will go out of his way to sign jerseys for charity, pick up restaurant bills of random strangers after getting a picture with one of them, and then put on his skates and perform the smoothest puck surgery mankind has ever seen to slide it into the net. Love that man.

That being said, Go Leafs baby

[scooters]

Hey man, from pittsburgh surrounded by hockey my entire life, never liked sports actually hated them but as I’ve grown up into my 20s I have for some weird reason grown insanely obsessed with hockey in a short period of time. I kid you not I have been scowering the internet for the past week(years in my book) for a YouTuber that covers hockey content on par with your format. Just kinda blabbering but I am so genuinely happy right now I found your account. Have a great day man.

[Akadehmix]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a rookie abused as much as Sid was. Look at how newer rookies are treated.

[kingjoseph]

As a Wings fan i must say Sidney really did come out strong and prove all the haters wrong. What a great time for hockey watching the Penguins Red Wings play in the Stanley Cup finals two years in a row.
