Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin confronts Sidney Crosby after blatant dive
Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin didn't take kindly to Penguins captain Sidney Crosby diving to try and sell a penalty to the referees, and he let him know!
While the Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburgh Penguins may not be as fierce of rivals as they once were after meeting in consecutive years in the Stanley Cup Final, there still is some animosity on the ice!
During tonight's game at Little Caesars Arena, Penguins captain Sidney Crosby (who Red Wings fans still love to hate despite having not met in the postseason since 2009) fell to the ice rather easily when trying to draw a penalty against Detroit captain Dylan Larkin.
The on-ice officials decided Larkin's actions merited a penalty, much to the chagrin of the crowd and to Larkin, who went over and had words for Crosby, and Red Wings fans were loving it!
Another Wings/Pens game, another penalty drawn by Crosby and even though Crybaby got his way, he still having chirps to go out against Larkin. Larkin goes off for holding.
That was a dive by Crosby. Larkin grabbed him for sure; but man. He let him know too.
Crosby and Larkin YAPPING at each other😭 Sid went down too easy
Kind of rare for Larkin to chew out Crosby for a "dive," but that's what he just did.
Larkin yacking at Crosby. Love it!
Earlier in his career, Crosby developed a reputation for being a "whiner" who would often complain to try and draw penalties, and Red Wings fans will well remember his blatant dive after being tapped from behind by Kirk Maltby run the 2008 Final.
