Pittsburgh Penguins Captain Sidney “Cindy” Crosby again showed his ability to be ultra-low class when he did not shake hands with one of the classiest athletes in the world, Detroit Red Wing Nick Lidstrom after the Pens Game 7 win in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Crosby has somehow escaped punishment and excessive media badgering in several incidents over the years.

Last season, ‘Crosby-ass-kisser’ NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman ignored an incident involving Crosby attacking Atlanta Thrashers defenseman Boris Valibik from behind, turning the unsuspecting player’s scrotum into a punching bag (YouTube video here).

Unwritten rule–leave another player’s junk alone.

Another unwritten rule–NHL players shake hands after playoff series.

Crosby was too caught up in himself to offer the gesture to Lidstrom. “Nick was waiting and waiting, and Crosby didn’t come over to shake his hand,” Red Wings Kris Draper told an Associated Press reporter. “That’s ridiculous, especially as their captain, and make sure you write that I said that!”

We will and we will also make sure we write this.

“Cindy Crosby receives the Sports Climax Bitch-Slap-of-the-Week award for his poor sportsmanship, for giving NHL bloggers justification to crown him as the biggest cry-baby in sports and for punching another dude’s junk!”
