Washington Capitals fans finally have something they can agree with Pittsburgh Penguins fans about.
Saturday, graphic designer Chris Ramirez published his latest absurd NHL swap. And if you hated his creation of Tom Wilson as a Penguin, you’re going to want to hurl your computer out the window after seeing this monstrosity.
Sidney Crosby had another meltdown. This time during the third period of the Penguins’ 5-3 loss to the Capitals.
After getting beat in front of the net by TJ Oshie, Crosby returned to the bench where he broke his stick in half and chucked it against the boards.
Sidney Crosby got an interference penalty in the second period for trying to steal TJ Oshie’s stick. After a tug of war commenced between the two players, officials blew play down and sent Crosby to the box.
Crosby commented on the incident to reporters after the game and you’ll never believe this. He put the blame on Oshie.
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.
Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby will play against each other for the 50th time on Super Bowl Sunday. The two future Hockey Hall of Famers have always had success when playing each other. In their 49 previous matchups, Crosby has 1.43 points per game while Ovechkin holds the goal-scoring edge with 30 tallies.
Ahead of the matchup, Crosby was asked about his relationship with Ovechkin and said the two aren’t “best buddies.”

Sidney Crosby got in his eighth career NHL fight on Saturday with Columbus Blue Jackets forward Pierre-Luc Dubois.
Crosby was Dubois’s idol growing up making the bout even more confusing.
Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby put away his green golf socks and sat down with former teammates Paul Bissonnette and Ryan Whitney to chat on their hockey podcast Spittin’ Chiclets.
While the interview was filled mostly with anecdotes and stories about Crosby’s career with the Penguins, the conversation turned his years-long rivalry with Ovechkin’s and whether or not the two share a relationship when they are off the ice.
“Yeah, pretty much on the ice,” Crosby confirmed. “I mean we see each other at different events and stuff, you know awards and things like that. But yeah, it’s pretty much on the ice and it’s had its moments over the years. I think that’s to be expected. We’ve kind of been built up against each other from day one, but we’ve had some good moments, some bad ones, but that just comes with playing against him so much.”

The 2019 NHL entry draft is Friday night in Vancouver. Before we look ahead to the Capitals’ 25th overall pick and the future of the franchise, let’s look back the 2004 draft and their first-overall pick: Alex Ovechkin.
We’ve covered this draft before, but here are some new (old) pieces of information that deserve another look. The year was 2004, the TV footage was grainy, and Raleigh, NC was about to echo with the sounds of “Let’s go Caps.”

It makes sense that an article about Nathan MacKinnon would include quotes from Sidney Crosby, a friend, peer, and training partner. In a recent article about MacKinnon for the Athletic, Pierre LeBrun got comments from Crosby via email.
Crosby’s comments were thorough, insightful, and–as Hailey Salvian of the Athletic pointed out on Twitter–accidentally(?) hilarious.
Who needs joyful emojis, laughin’ out loud acronyms, or excessively emotional displays when one can simply write out: haha?
