Sidney Crosby Is a Whiner

It's a boring Saturday afternoon for me, so what better way to pass the time than pay homage to Sidney Crosby, the poster child of the NHL? The league is getting exactly what it wants in a heating up Ovechkin vs. Crosby rivalry.

After a game in which the Caps demolished the Penguins 5-2, Crosby once again showed his true colors. He acted like a baby not getting what he wanted on the ice and then cried about Ovechkin to the media.

"Like it or lump it, that's what he does. Some people like it, some people don't. Personally, I don't like it. I was just skating to the bench and he pushed me from behind, so I just gave him a shot back. That's hockey, and he likes to run around these days, so that was it."

First of all, I'm not exactly sure what "lump" means. Probably some crazy Canadian jargon that I don't care to be familiar with. But if you have seen the "push" from behind, it's hysterical that Crosby got his panties in a twist over that.

Ovechkin slightly brushed by Crosby as they both were heading to their respective benches. Even though Crosby acted like he had questioned his manhood, it really was not a big deal at all. But then again, this is Crosby, so he cried about it.

"What I can say about him?" Ovechkin said. "He is a good player, but he talks too much."

Well, Crosby said what we already know: Crosby is a whiner and a baby. Nothing new there.

As annoying as Crosby's whining antics are to watch on the ice, that's much more acceptable than crying to the media about something that happened. Especially something as insignificant as what happened with Ovechkin.

Now this is old news.

And so is this, in a recent ESPN players poll Crosby was voted by a whopping 52 percent as the biggest "complainer" on the ice.
