Scott Mayfield disrespects Sidney Crosby after Crosby loses his temper
The Pittsburgh Penguins had a rough night at the UBS Arena in New York on Tuesday night, losing 5-1.
In the third period of the contest with the Penguins already behind by four goals, Sidney Crosby appeared frustrated when he took a run at Islanders' defenceman Scott Mayfield and whacked him a few times by crosschecking him in the back. Crosby was called for his actions and as he turned to skate to the penalty box, Mayfield simply slapped his butt a few times, acknowledging how silly of a penalty the Pens' captain just took.

Crosby is lucky Mayfield didn't want to lay a hurting on him for his actions. Crosby is giving up 6 inches and around 20 pounds to the hulking blue liner.
Mayfield made the right call, letting his team get on the power-play, and got to send a message to Crosby at the same time.
