Sidney Crosby receives game misconduct for first time in career

Lost in the Capitals’ back-to-back games during Super Bowl Weekend, Alex Ovechkin’s good friend had a career accomplishment.

After 18 years in the NHL, Sidney Crosby was given his first game misconduct.

Crosby was ejected after lipping off to referees after an incident with Los Angeles Kings defenseman Mikey Anderson. The Penguins would go on to lose 6-0.

“Honestly, I was shocked that I was getting kicked out of the game,” Crosby said afterward.

Dual Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby All-Star bobblehead released, a first look at the artwork

What’s better than one Alex Ovechkin All-Star bobblehead? Two!

Longtime NHL rivals, Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby, were reunited on the Metropolitan Division All-Stars and played on the same line at the 2023 NHL All-Star Game. Ovechkin even assisted on two of Crosby’s goals. They also won the Breakaway Challenge together with Ovi’s four-year-old son, Sergei. Now they are being featured by FOCO in what I believe is the first dual bobble of their career.

The bobblehead is extremely limited — just 123 units — and I’m told approximately half of the inventory has already been sold with little promotion. A listing for the figure was first released over the weekend.

You can order Ovi’s new bobblehead here.

Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby are “good friends” and they showed it during both nights of 2023 All-Star Weekend.

On Night One, Ovechkin and Crosby combined with four-year-old Sergei Ovechkin to win the Breakaway Challenge at the All-Star Skills Competition.

During Game Two of the three-on-three All-Star Game tournament, Ovechkin and Crosby played on the same line and combined on two beautiful give-and-go goals where the Capitals captain played the role of dishmaster to his longtime rival.

The Atlantic Division would go on to beat the Metropolitan Division, 10-6, eliminating the Metro in the first round.

Sergei Ovechkin steals the show in Breakaway Challenge attempt with Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby

Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby were announced to be a dual entrant in the All-Star Skills Competition’s Breakaway Challenge.

But it was all a ruse to let Ovi’s four-year-old son Sergei steal the show.

After an elaborate setup at center ice with PK Subban, Ovechkin and Crosby signed the defenseman’s jersey before the former Norris Trophy winner asked one other legend for his ink: Sergei.

Ovi Jr. ambled out and then they all went in on Roberto Luongo alone on a three-on-none breakaway.
