Crosby's embarassing display
From The Rink —
This is pretty ridiculous:
I'm tied up in the newsroom due to the Canada-Russia festivities at the world juniors, but George Richards of the Miami Herald and Greg Wyshynski of Yahoo! Sports have more.
For what it's worth, I agree with Nick Boynton: "That was just embarrassing. I can understand a little bit what he was trying to do, but that's a not a very professional move. You ask a guy to fight. You don't jump a guy when his head is down taking a face off. That's pretty immature and ...
Sidney Crosby vs Brett McLean, Hockey Fight Video, 1/3/09
NESW Sports, Sports Videos —
... during the second period. He drops his gloves and pulls McLean’s jersey over his head. He did not have a chance, and I think that McLean put this one in the old filing system. We have not seen the end of this. As the announcer says in the vid, the Penguins were sick and tired of being sick and tired. This was another embarrassing. ( 6-1 )

... I've ever seen. Our old friend Sidney Crosby dropped the gloves against Brett McLean, who, funny enough, wasn't given a chance to pick his head up, never mind drop his gloves, before Crosby jumped him off the face-off . Pretty classless. And while Alex Semin was responsible for the other odd fight, it was odd only because he ...
Loose Pucks - Crosby Ignores “The Code”
Canes Country —
... with Brett McLean during the Pens loss to the Panthers on Saturday. As the two players lined up for a faceoff, Crosby showed all the class of his potential mentor, Sean Avery as he jumped McLean, who never had a chance. Crosby claimed that he asked McLean to go before the rumble, but it sure didn’t look like the Florida center was expecting to be jumped. Obviously, the linesmen and refs didn’t hear the alleged exchange as they practically threw the book at the NHL’s “golden boy”. Puck Daddy and ...
Peepin' Foes: Pittsburgh Penguins
Scotty Hockey —
... They Are: Luckily for the Blueshirts, the Pens are in pretty bad shape as well. They have won one of their last six, with the most recent defeat being a 6-1 debacle at the hands of the Florida Putty Tats. Remarkably their power play, featuring two of the top offensive talents in the league is 0-for-24 over the past five games (is Perry Pearn coaching them too???). To add insult to injury, the Cole Harbour Crybaby has been doing his best to embarrass his team and ...

Sidney Crosby: Golden Boy No More
The Sporting Blog —
... Now, is this a bad thing? Crosby, who has a tendency to whine to the refs more often than not, was horribly miscast by the league's image makers when he made his NHL debut. Like it or not, Crosby is probably more comfortable being a black hat, a role he ought to be allowed to embrace and something my friend Greg Wyshynski has been reminding folks for a while now. ...
