In my 13 years of writing for PenguinPoop, rarely have I been critical of Sidney Crosby. That’s because there’s rarely been a need. A testament to what a truly magnificent player he’s been and is.
However, during overtime of last night’s Metro Division tilt with the Flyers, whatever malaise has infested our team seemed to have infected our captain as well. In a rare case of blunderitis, Sid committed at least three outright bonehead plays.
On the first, he chased a Flyers puck carrier behind the Philly cage…a no-no in 3-on-3 overtime…and wound up trailing the play up ice.
