The boys over at the fantastic Steve Dangle Podcast brought up an insane hypothetical situation. What would happen if Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin switched teams for this past season’s Eastern Conference second-round matchup?
First of all, how dare you Steve, Adam, and Jesse even pose this question and second, let’s discuss because I know many of you have wondered it yourself.

Usually, when it is the 30th birthday of a man that has ruined your life, you don’t dedicate an entire post to them. In this case, I thought it was necessary for me to get some things off my chest. To pay tribute to all the 30 Reasons why Sidney Crosby ROCKS on his 30th birthday articles floating around, I’m publishing a listicle of my own.

NASHVILLE — Sidney Crosby calmly walked through the bland, gray event level at Bridgestone Arena carrying 34 and a half pounds of silver. He shuffled through the hallways, finally reaching the narrow passageway that leads to the visitors locker room.
The best hockey player in the world right now was carrying the Stanley Cup, the most famous trophy in sports, waiting to celebrate with his teammates. But a crowd was gathered outside the Pittsburgh Penguins’ room. Politely and quietly, Crosby slowly made his way through the horde, careful not to bang into anyone.

Thursday night during Game Five of the Stanley Cup Final, Sidney Crosby got his revenge on PK Subban after #mouthwashgate. He also threw a Gatorade bottle at a Preds player.
During both examples of poor sportsmanship, Crosby was basically given a free pass by NHL officials. Crosby was whistled for matching minors for holding on the Subban melee while he completely avoided a bench minor for the bottle toss.
One of the largest controversies surrounding this 2016-17 Stanley Cup Final has been whether or not Sidney Crosby told PK Subban that his breath smelled bad. The feud has become a bit of a “he said, she said” situation and today we have a development for you.
PK Subban arrived at Bridgestone Arena to prepare for Game Four with one major new accessory…a bag filled with mouthwash.

After the Predators defeated the Penguins 5-1 in Game Three, a chirping PK Subban escorted two Penguins players off the ice. First, Subban had words with rookie Jake Guentzel before having an animated conversation with the best player in hockey, Sidney Crosby.
Subban was interviewed afterwards by Pierre McGuire and asked about what was said.
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Penguins won the opening game of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday with a dominating performance over the Nashville Predators. They controlled play almost the whole night, going up 3-0 before the first period was over. The Predators managed a power play goal midway through the second frame, but that was all they got. It’s clear Pittsburgh is heading for a quick series win after finishing off Nashville 5-3 in Game One.
“We got a favorable result tonight,” Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan said after the game.
But there is one small problem: the first paragraph is a lie, save for the score.

The Ottawa Senators franchise is desperate to get to the Stanley Cup Final for the second time. They will do anything to win. That apparently includes spraying Sidney Crosby with Gatorade while he’s near the bench.

Sidney Crosby is the NHL’s best player, but he’s also super serious.
Wednesday night during Ottawa’s huge Game Three win, CBC aired a video clip of Senators captain Erik Karlsson having some fun at Crosby’s expense.
Last week, Jay Beagle talked about how much he craved the physicality of playoff hockey.
“Yeah, I mean, it should be nasty,” Beagle said. “It’s the playoffs. That’s the we like to play. That’s the way they like to play. Hard hits, going after each other. These are two teams that don’t like each other. It’s fun to play hard between the whistles.”
Monday during Game Six, Beagle showed just how nasty he could get in a second period battle with Sidney Crosby. The Caps gritty fourth-line center and the game’s best player engaged in a legendary tit-for-tat, slashing and cross-checking and elbowing and punching for nearly 20 seconds straight until the whistle sounded. There were no penalties on the play.
