Kyle Connor and Sid Crosby fighting was not on my bingo card for the night. That was Connor's first NHL fight and it earned him a Gordie Howe hat trick. Kudos to him as he didn't back down at all and Kudos to Crosby for handling the matter himself.

Kyle Connor v. Sid the Kid?! Wow, didn’t think that would’ve happened ever.

That "hit" from Connor wasn't much. He just turned his back, basically boxed out, leaned into Sid and Sid was probably surprised by the contact.

Watching Crosby the last two years feels like going to see an old rock band reunion tour.

I have been a Pens fan since the days of Mario's rookie year. I hate seeing great players like Crosby and Malkin on this team just wallow in what they have become. I doubt either of them, including Letang want to be traded but it would be worth asking them if they want to go. Even if the Pens had a told a little salary to get draft picks and start the rebuild to let the names that made this team great for 20 years finish their careers with another chance at the Cup would be great. They will still be Penguin's when they retire.

It goes beyond that actual play. Crosby is a winner and his team constantly loses. Frustration keeps building in and this is a sign. Sid should join a winning team and end his career with a bang.

Connor is definitely a hockey player -- Cheers from Canada

[robobo]

Get him on a better team he deserves it

[AAA-og]

Crosby gets mad because of a clean hit ?

[frankytanky]

Man crosby feeling it this year. Dudes jsut angry.

Connor is a quality person, never plays up his scoring, meaning, look at me. He scores, and lets it go, no bouncing off the glass, etc. To many players now are big ego maniacs. Give it a break, childish!

[johnwheeler]

Rupper has nailed it with his commentary. Pens are a tired, aging team whose mediocre days are even behind them. They're not able to play fundamental hockey against better teams and take foolish chances to try to win a game. Sullivan is an excellent coach...this isn't the coaching and arguably Sullivan has kept this team relevant for a number of years. If (and when) he's fired he'll get a new gig; hopefully it's not with the Bruins for his sake.

You know it’s bad in Chittsburgh when He’s not acting Himself.

[clubkid]

What was the score of the game? Who won? How many points did Crosby have? How many points did Connor have?

[SmileyBill]

Crosby being upset that he got checked is the equivalent of "Do you know who I am????" LOL

[patplayswell]

Thats what the kids call a gordie howe hatrick for kfc

[MrHolmgren]

Sid getting all boohoo because of a clean legit great tackle,

[michaeljoseph]

Crosby is frustrated cause it’s not even December yet and the Pens season is already over.

[senseofjustice]

Hmm, maybe this is a sign things aren't working in Pittsburgh and the coach needs to go.

[kranmaster]

This is not what anyone wants to see from a guy with Crosby's concussion history at this point in his career
