Sidney Crosby handed game misconduct after voicing displeasure with official (video)
Saturday night's contest against Los Angeles was a brutal one for the Pittsburgh Penguins, which ended in a 6-0 victory for the Kings on a night where they celebrated their former captain, Dustin Brown.
In the third period, frustrations boiled over. Penguins captain Sidney Crosby was cross-checked by Kings defenceman Mikey Anderson in front of Los Angeles' net. Anderson was given a two-minute minor for cross-checking and after both him and Crosby were engaged in a brief shoving match, they were each assessed a ten-minute misconduct.
Crosby wasn't happy about the call and made that known to Garrett Rank, one of the officials in the game. The Penguins captain wouldn't leave the ice and kept following Rank to tell him how bad the call was, to which Rank took it a step further and gave Crosby a game misconduct.
