\n

The Philadelphia Flyers<\/a> took a pretty handy 5-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins in Wednesday night’s Game 3 to take a commanding 3-0 series lead, but there was plenty to talk about, including the first embellishment penalty of Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby’s career.<\/p>\n

…No, you read that correctly.<\/p>\n

Coming into the game, Crosby had played 21 NHL<\/a> seasons and had never gotten the game for embellishment, until a bizarre sequence between whistles.<\/p>\n

Flyers forward (and top-tier agitator, it must be said) Garnet Hathaway skated between Crosby and the linesman ahead of a faceoff in the Flyers’ defensive zone and was, let’s just say, “Careless” with his lumber.<\/p>\n

There was no doubt it caught the Pens’ captain<\/a> in the face, but there was also no doubt that it wasn’t hard enough to send Crosby sprawling to the ice as a sniper had fired from the rafters.<\/p>\n

Both were sent to the box, and the game continued at 4-on-4.<\/p>\n

After the game, Crosby offered his reaction to that incident and to another scrum involving teammate Bryan Rust<\/a> a bit later that resulted in a Flyers power play and a power play goal.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know how Rusty ends up with the extra [penalty] out of all of that, I don’t know how I end up with the embellishment,” he said. “It’s hard to understand, but you gotta play through that.”<\/p>\n

I mean… you did sell it a bit, Sid.<\/p>\n

Now on the Rust situation? The Flyers did luck out.<\/p>\n

THE NHL NEEDS TO GIVE US A FLYERS-PENGUINS GAME AT BEAVER STADIUM ASAP<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

But back to the most talked about dive since the days of Greg Louganis. During the broadcast, it was revealed that this was Crosby’s first-ever penalty for embellishment. Fortunatley, I wasn’t drinking anything when I heard this because I would’ve choked on it.<\/p>\n

For 21 of my 30 years on this glorious space marble we call Earth, I’ve been tormented by Sidney Crosby, and a big part of that was his penchant for diving and whining.<\/p>\n

Now, he has kind of grown out of that, but it was such a known thing that f<\/p>\n

Former Flyers goalie Brian Boucher alluded to his old habits during TNT’s broadcast of Game 3.<\/p>\n

Hell, I remember reading in former NHL referee Kerry Fraser’s book about this habit.<\/p>\n

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

And still, this was the first time?!<\/p>\n

Unbelievable.<\/p>\n

While the Penguins were not happy<\/a> about the officiating \u2014 and I do think they had a pretty legitimate case on that Rust incident \u2014 they can’t be hung up on these things down 3-0.<\/p>\n

The Flyers have been the more solid team all series long, and that’s why they have their cross-state rivals on the ropes going into Saturday night’s Game 4 in Philadelphia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
