Sidney Crosby’s fiery temper flared during the second period of the Capitals-Penguins game.
As Penguins forward Anthony Angello hit TJ Oshie in the neutral zone, Oshie’s stick accidentally nailed Crosby sitting on the bench.
Oshie threw a few shoves and punches back at Angello and as he did, Crosby tried to rip Oshie’s stick out of his hands.

You can’t do that.
According to Justin Bourne, Crosby complained to the ref that Oshie tried to spear him, but the officials weren’t buying.
