What bothers me the most about this is Sid has to be the one to stand up for himself because none of the other Penguins will stand up for him.

[CanucksGill]

wtf..how is that even an altercation LOL. he skated over and talked to him haha

[fitzy]

5-0 game and they crosscheck your best player, how tf do they not jump him

[connormcdavid]

Crosby kept going just so he could chill in the locker room for the rest of the blowout. 42D chess

[hockeyboy]

Well when you’re down 5-0 and just got dumped and no one on your team is gonna have the courage to stand up for you(as a captain and a star) what do you think is gonna happen? This ain’t the first time people have done this, let alone the first time Crosby has done this

[campingjason]

god i hate the announcer bias in the NHL

[billknox]

Cross checking on a slap shot leaves you vulnerable and defenseless especially, if your facing the shot . Sid already ate a slap shot that put him out for awhile earlier in his career .

[itsanarchy]

That’s such an embarrassing ejection from the officials

[Regalman]

The most unprotected superstar of all time

[snapjackal]

I was expecting more from the headline tbh. All good by me, Sid.

[Pittsburghborn]

Dude that is a terrible call from the ref. You are going to give Sid a game misconduct for standing up for himself and taking a quick jab? Wow, please don't turn Hockey into Football when it comes to penalties.

[Michael-pgrv]

The NHL really needs to sort out their officiating problem. How is this worth an ejection for the first time in Crosby’s career

[VanillaLoaf]

King's organist knows what's up.

[pikkis-]

So that's enough for an ejection in 2023? What bs

[bauerca]

He’s cross checking him into a slap shot, if that shot was high it may very well have caught him in the face or the head. Right on Sid

[thosearentpillows]

Dangerous play when a 100 mph shot is coming.

[calbertram]

Said it perfect last line, more danger in front of you then behind, exactly so why crosscheck someone to leave them vulnerable to possibly take a puck to the face, smh shame on these announcers

[fredd]

Good on Sid for standing up for himself, nhl refs have been absolutely brutal for a while, but more so now

[bentoth]

"There wasn't a...you know...big, jerking motion." Uh yeah there was, every time that announcer opened his mouth

[joesavary]

Nice Homer broadcasting, BTW they did call a penalty on Crosby
