Did Boston's Marc Savard Back Down From Sidney Crosby?


The hockey blogosphere was on fire earlier this week because of a series of events in Sunday's Pittsburgh-Boston game. During the first period of the Penguins 6-4 win, a few observers noticed that Sidney Crosby played a portion of the game without the protective visor he's worn since he entered the league.

Sidney Crosby's Fighting Style: Dirty as I Wanna Be



Thanks to my buddy Greg Wyshynski for pointing to this video of Sidney Crosby getting involved in a scrum on Thursday night against Atlanta.
