Sidney Crosby

Alex Ovechkin jokes he didn’t see Sidney Crosby’s OT winner, but those Alex Chiasson goals were ‘pretty sick’

Former Capitals forward Alex Chiasson scored two highlight-reel goals for the Edmonton Oilers Tuesday night, but it was Sidney Crosby’s game-winning overtime goal that went viral.

Crosby deked past two Oilers defenders before backhanding the puck past Cam Talbot top shelf. The goal was Crosby’s second tally of the night and earned praise from awed players leaguewide. Well, everyone that is, except for Alex Ovechkin.

Sidney Crosby critical of Tom Wilson’s decision making: ‘There’s really no reason to continue to hit like that’

Monday, the NHL announced that Tom Wilson would be meeting with the league office on Wednesday morning to discuss his illegal head hit on the St. Louis Blues’ Oskar Sundqvist.

Penguins captain Sidney Crosby was asked for his thoughts on the incident and he had a lot to say.

“We’ve talked about it a lot with him. He still chooses to make those hits,” Crosby said. “I’m sure the league is well aware of that. Not the first time we’re talking about a hit that he made. For whatever reason, he still decides to do that.”

Sidney Crosby doesn’t buy the postseason narrative that the Capitals have choked against the Penguins

The Capitals and the Penguins have a decades-long rivalry. The Caps, despite winning the Presidents’ Trophy as the league’s best regular-season team, have lost to the Penguins in back-to-back years as Pittsburgh went on to win consecutive Stanley Cups. Overall, the Caps have lost nine of 10 playoff series against the Pens.

Penguins’ captain Sidney Crosby doesn’t buy into the narrative that the Capitals have some mental hurdle against Pittsburgh or that they “give in” or choke late in their series.

The watercooler moment of Game Two: Did the puck cross the line on Patric Hornqvist’s no-goal?

The Pittsburgh Penguins appeared to narrow the Capitals’ lead to one midway through the third period.

As Sidney Crosby attempted a wraparound, Patric Hornqvist crashed the net, knocking home – or so we thought – the rebound past Braden Holtby. While Hornqvist celebrated with his teammates, officials never ruled it a good goal on the ice.

After a lengthy goal review, the NHL decided that there was no evidence the puck ever crossed the goal line.
