Sidney Crosby has been on of the best players in the National Hockey League his entire career, what he's able to do with and without the puck sometimes is nothing short of magical. However, with that comes the officials ability to look the other way when he does something incredibly dirty. It's been that way his entire career and it won't change.
Last night when the Pittsburgh Penguins were in Minnesota to take on the wild, Crosby not only held Wild defender Brock Faber. But decided to shove his head face first into the glass; take a look.
First of all, at the very least that should've been a penalty. That part is a given for the egregious hold if nothing else, but then to have Crosby finish Faber into the glass like that, that's just cheap and dirty.
I get Crosby is most likely going to go down as one of the all time greats to ever play in the NHL, but this is why people have a serious issue with him. He's dirty and officials do nothing to stop him because of who he is.
It's been going on his entire career, but at what point are we going to stop just accepting it? Crosby should be called out for the way he plays this kind of game. Over and over again, it's the same story. He's going to hurt someone.
