Is Sidney Crosby Whining About Getting Cuckholded By Zdeno Chara Two Weeks After Getting Swept The Lowest Point In the History of Hockey?

 

BOSTON (CBS)Sidney Crosby is boldly going where no hockey player has ever gone before: He’s complaining about an innocuous hit from a hockey game two weeks after the fact, and he’s claiming ill intent. Well, Crosby’s not even doing the complaining himself, leaving his agent, Pat Brisson, to be his mouthpiece. As Damien Cox of the Toronto Star passed along on Friday, “Sidney Crosby’s agent is convinced Zdeno Chara of the Bruins intentionally punched Crosby where he had broken his jaw in Game 1. Nasty.”

In super slow-motion, and with some sort of mega zoom, Crosby and his agent were convinced that Chara had purposefully taken the time to carefully target Crosby’s exposed jaw with a direct jab in the middle of a scrum. And so they gathered the video and sent it along to TSN, which was happy to “report” on the wretched assault on hockey’s golden boy. (TSN’s Darren Dreger actually took Chara aside to show him the video. Chara is in the middle of playing for the Stanley Cup.)

The play in question came just five minutes into Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals. Tuukka Rask covered a puck, and Chara shoved Brenden Morrow out of the crease. Crosby reached out with his left hand and grabbed the back of Chara’s neck. Chara turned, saw Crosby grabbing onto him, and shoved him with his left hand to separate himself from Crosby. The Penguins’ captain did not let go of the Bruins’ captain, and after exchanging a few words, they were eventually separated by officials.

While the Zapruder-esque slow-motion footage provided by TSN looks damning for Chara, the video at regular speed (uploaded to YouTube by user @dafoomie) of the “incident” shows it for it is: nothing. Secondly, and perhaps worst of all, is the fact that this may be the first time in history that a hockey player has complained publicly about generic post-whistle roughhousing two weeks after it happened. Hockey is a man’s game, played by self-respecting tough guys who can get gashed open by a skate blade and still pretend like it doesn’t hurt. And yet, there is Crosby, upset he was shoved by a man whom he had grabbed seconds earlier.

By coming out and not only claiming a regular post-whistle shove was a direct punch but also claiming Chara purposely targeted an injured jaw is a legitimately low and contemptible action by Crosby, who continues to act like he is bigger than the game. Hopefully some day, he’ll learn he is not.

 

I can’t believe we’re talking about this story right now. I mean Game 3 of a thrilling Stanley Cup Finals is tonight in Boston and Sidney Crosby is trying to highjack the Finals by crying about getting punch/shoved in the face from a game 2 weeks ago.  Seriously has a “star” player has ever embarrassed a sport more than Crosby is right now? Like I always knew he was a pussy, but I’m not sure even I realized he was this big of a pussy.  Just an absolute disgrace to anybody who has ever laced them up. Bro you got swept. You got dominated. You got humiliated. Chara made you his bitch. Just lick your wounds and shut up. Nobody cares about you. Nobody wants to hear you whine. You don’t want to get hit, don’t step onto the ice. Hockey is a big boy sport. If you can’t handle it go figure skate where you belong you coward.
