Sidney Crosby pushes back on embellishment call in Game 3 against Flyers: 'I don't know what else you want me to tell you'

"He hit me in the face with his stick, I don't know what else you want me to tell you. You can make up what you want to make up. But that's a fact. He got away with it. It's a good trade-off for him."

"This is a hockey game. This isn't theater! It was me just reacting to the situation. With the flailing. Him being a baby."

Sidney Crosby addressed his embellishment penalty received during Game 3 against the Philadelphia Flyers. He was high-sticked by Garnet Hathaway, leading to Crosby's dramatic fall. Crosby stated that Hathaway hit him in the face with his stick, asserting that it was a fact. A Flyers fan reacted skeptically to Crosby's fall, prompting Crosby to smile in response. The game continued without scoring from either team while both players were off the ice, and the Flyers ultimately won 5-2, leading the series 3-0.
