Crosby at the center of Pens-Flyers brawl

Found April 15, 2012 on Sweater Punch: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Sidney Crosby
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Penguins,  Philadelphia Flyers

Share

Sid the Kid is letting his fist do the talking this afternoon.

During the second period of a pivotal game 3 showdown between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers, the usually mild-mannered Crosby scuffled with the Flyers Claude Giroux. As this fight was wrapping up, Kris Letang and Kimmo Timonen started throwing punches, with Letang opening up a cut on Timonen’s face after a few nice shots. Got to love playoff hockey!

The Flyers are up 2-0 in this series over the Penguins.

Flyers broadcaster rants, rips Sidney Crosby

Via NESN.com  |  April 17, 2012
It's OK for hockey fans to express their hatred toward Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, but when an opposing broadcaster does it in the middle of a game, that's the definition of trouble. In Game 3 of the Penguins-Flyers series on Sunday, Crosby continued to add more fuel to the fire of this already intense rivalry. Philadelphia radio broadcaster Chris Therien called Crosby...

Flyers announcer Chris Therien really doesn't like Sidney Crosby

Sunday's violent Flyers-Penguins Stanley Cup playoff game resulted in a lot of vicious reactions from all across the internet, with Penguins fans throwing racist insults towards Wayne Simmonds of the Flyers, Flyers fans complaining about the Penguins being dirty whiners, and the mainstream media freaking out about every Sidney Crosby stereotype coming true in one series.

Flyers ‘unleash the beast’ on Crosby, unsuspecting Penguins

Via Eye On Sports with Eric Williams  |  April 17, 2012
I have no idea what’s gotten into the Philadelphia Flyers as they’ve taken a commanding 3-0 lead over the Pittsburgh Penguins by scoring a mind-boggling eight goals in each of their last two wins, but at this point, you’ve got to believe the Flyers have a very realistic chance of bringing home Philly’s first hockey title since way back in 1975 (my God, it’s been that long...

Frustrated Crosby not bothering Flyers

Sidney Crosby got too caught up in his hatred for the Philadelphia Flyers to recall that one of his best friends wears the orange and black. No worries, though. Max Talbot isn't going to delete Crosby's number from his cell phone. ''He's definitely a great friend,'' Talbot said Tuesday. ''He was heated up in the moment and that's OK. It&...

Let’s be honest. Game 3 on Sunday between the Flyers and Penguins isn’t going to be known for the hockey was that was played. The numerous, ugly skirmishes that took place on the ice overshadowed the scoring barrage the Flyers unleashed on the Pens and surely will fuel the arguments of hockey’s biggest critics. It was, cliche as it sounds, like the WWE out there at times...

Sid the Kid could use a new nickname. How about, ''Sugar'' Sid Crosby. Or ''Bonecrusher'' or ''Marvelous.'' Sidney Crosby needs the kind of name that conjures up the image of the most iron-fisted of pugilists now that he's willing to scrap his way through the postseason if that's what it takes to help the Pittsburgh Penguins...

What A Class(less) Act: Flyers Down Penguins 8-4 to Take 3-0 Series Lead

Via Buzz On Broad  |  April 15, 2012
Today, the entire hockey world got to witness what we in Philly have seen in the Pittsburgh Penguins organization since the likes of Crosby and his lackeys entered the league: Completely classless, cheap shotting, cowards that are catered to by the referees and the NHL. The Flyers are obviously in their heads, and today's 8-4 win and 3-0 series lead was a direct result of that...

Stanley Cup Playoffs: Pittsburgh Penguins vs Philadelphia Flyers Game 3 breakdown

If the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins weren’t going to engage in a few line brawls in the series, then this series would have been seriously overhyped. Claude Giroux and Sidney Crosby stare down each other during Sunday's Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.The fact that Max Talbot and Jaromir Jagr are in orange sweaters alone had all the makings for...

Holding Back On Crosby

Via Kukla's Korner  |  April 15, 2012
from Elliotte Friedman of CBC, Tell you a quick story. Just before Crosby suffered his first concussion in January 2011, I was scheduled to do an interview with him. As part of the preparation, I asked a few Flyers for their opinions. They were complimentary—even Mike Richards, who hated him the most. They said he’d really decreased his complaining on the ice and just played...

In their bloodlust, Arabs and Jews have nothing on the Flyers and Penguins. (Isn’t it grand!) Really, in a relative sense, what transpired on the ice in Philadelphia yesterday made the Middle East seem one big, happy, if diverse, family.
