How bad are things going for Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby?
Not only do the Penguins trail the Boston Bruins 2-0 in the Eastern Conference final, in part because Crosby’s high-octane game has been stuck in neutral, but now the young star is being openly mocked by people outside the hockey industry.
The pilot of the JetBlue flight transporting members of the Boston media from Pittsburgh to Boston got into the act Tuesday, asking if “Sidney Crosby is in the back of the plane” after hearing a baby crying on the flight. The pilot’s comment was tweeted by a couple of media outlets, according to Yahoo Sports.
Ouch.
Now, Crosby has been a target of haters since before he entered the NHL but this is nothing new. But it does bring to light that he does seem to be more focused on complaining to the officials rather than beating the Bruins.
In 12 playoff games, Crosby has seven goals and eight assists but he’s been shut out in the first two games with Boston and is minus-3 for the series.
Poor Cindy.
LOL!
Ping!
Oh, THAT’S priceless.
That is very poor form making a stupid comment like that.
One to top that is the pilot who made negative comments about West Virginia strip mines to his captive audience passengers. Among the pax were a group of Mine company executives along with mine union leaders. They did not think that editorial comments were appropriate.
Just shut up and fly from A to B!
oh lighten up. he has your life in his hands, if he wants to make a joke its fine with me
Lets see that pilot make that comment on a flight to Pittsburgh or Halifax....and count how many teeth remain in the pilots mouth after the comment
Yea let’s see...Give me a break;Lighten up Francis.People are so sensitive.
Crosby is a conservative Christian so I’m not surprised Boston liberals hate him. I always like the conservative players so I’m pretty happy he plays for a team I like.
Yeah, not like all those communists cheering for the Bruins!
I was on a flight from Detroit to Germany, once we were in the air the Captain says, “thank you for flying with us I hope you enjoy your flight to Yemen”. Everybody started looking at each other....I figured he was joking but many others looked horrified! ...he then laughs and sarcastically apologizes for his “little joke” :)
People are just jealous of him. hater got to hate!!!!
It’s not over till the fat lady sings...
Classic!
