Sidney Crosby ripped into the NHL for its substandard video review procedures after he felt the officiating crew botched a key call that led directly to a Pittburgh Penguins loss on Friday.
"Most of the guys on the ice felt that it hit the net," Crosby said in a post-game media session."It sucks being on the wrong side of some of these challenges. I mean, why do the replay if you're not going to get it right? I know some things are tough but if you're going to have the rule that you can review that one went in the into the net, get a view that shows it instead of being inconclusive.
Crosby and Fleury played together for 12 seasons in Pittsburgh, winning Stanley Cups in 2009, 2016 and 2017. Fleury has since suited up for the Vegas Golden Knights, Chicago Blackhawks and Wild. The 39-year-old spent his entire junior career with the Cape Breton Eagles and was picked first overall in the 2003 NHL draft.
Crosby scored the tying goal on his old friend earlier in the third period on the power play. He and longtime Penguins defenceman Kris Letang presented Fleury with a commissioned painting in the dressing room prior to the game.
