The Flyers beat the Penguins on Wednesday to take a 3-0 lead in their first round Stanley Cup playoffs series. These are desperate times for Pittsburgh and that calls for desperate measures. Maybe that's why Sidney Crosby went the extra mile to sell a stick hitting him in the face during the first period.
As Crosby got into position for a face-off late in the opening period, Philadelphia winger Garnet Hathaway skated by and adjusted his stick behind his back. The blade of the stick went right in front of Crosby's face and the Penguins' captain went down holding his face.
