Do refs, and the NHL, turn a blind eye on Crosby?

I don't love Crosby but that slash happens 100 times every game.....it just happens that he got him on the finger and cut it off...... :)

still looks pretty gruesome. I know it happens all the time, didn't Gaudreau end up with a broken finger after 21 slashes in one game?

Just because something "happens all the time" doesn't mean it's okay.. there's some overreaction around everything Crosby does; good and bad, sure. But this kind of stuff is so unnecessary no matter who it is.. the sack tap at all let alone so close to this slash doesn't exactly help the reaction level to this incident either.

Seriously - people here cheered for the Pens?

This sounds horrible, but I'm gonna say it...Hope Crosby gets caught with his head down.

btw - those 'old school' Sens jerseys need to replace what they would normally wear.

Come on.  Those jerseys are terrible.  I hope they don't wear them anymore.  

Dirtey Crosby sounds like the title of a Canadian porno movie.

Really wish someone would punch his face in. Between this, the O'Reilly nut shot, and the two meetings he had with Mantha this year, he has show he really hasn't "grown up".

Came here to say he also gave ROR that deliberate nut tap just a few days prior to this. Must be nice receiving special treatment.

There really isn't a question that the NHL turns a blind eye to the Pengwhines in general, we witnessed it back in 09. We all know the story about the instigator, but it was the reasoning behind it that threw everyone overboard.  When the NHL said that they need to have their stars playing in the finals, that showed right there that they are willing to throw the rules out for certain players so they can play.  You can look at game 3 as well when they played almost a full minute with 6 guys on the ice without being called for a penalty. All the linesman was doing was yelling at the guy to get off the ice. Crosby can do whatever he wants. Wasn't there a time he skipped the All Star game and didn't receive the mandatory suspension?

My opinion is that the level of heat Crosby takes for this stuff is just at a stupid level.  I was actually watching the game against Ottawa and if there were no replays of the exposed finger, etc., I wouldn't even have noticed anything happened at all.  I did notice something happened, only because Methot went after him.  My thinking was "why is he so upset?"  I did see a bit of a slash, but thought nothing of it because that happens all the time, replays of the slash hammered that home even more, didn't look like much at all.  Crosby probably took 1-2 just like that in that same shift (just guessing).  they literally happen multiple times every minute of every game...I do think that's a problem, but singling out Crosby for it is a joke.

I didn't see the O'Reilly incident other than looking at the replays.  Looks bad, but if you take Crosby's word for it and O'Reilly himself, it was accidental.  I mean, why would he apologize and tell O'Reilly he didn't mean to get him there (just a few moments after it happened) if that wasn't true?  I don't see any benefit of doing that.  If it was on purpose, then yeah, looks dirty...the slash on Methot though is a completely non-issue to me.

O'Reilly quote:

“It was a weird thing,” said O’Reilly. “You know, it happens. I didn’t expect it and he apologized after the play and it was understood. It just threw me off. I wasn’t expecting anything and then something happens, but he’s a good guy and he is just playing hard and he takes a beating every night too so it happens.”
