Should Crosby be suspended for his hit on Holtby?
As the video at the top of the page shows, Crosby made an effort to block a Holtby clearing attempt behind the Capitals’ net during a Penguins power play. Crosby’s shoulder made contact with Holtby’s head and the 2016 Vezina winner went down. Holtby didn't like the hit and gave Crosby a whack on the legs later in the shift.
Pierre McGuire said that Crosby seemed annoyed at the way Holtby fell down feeling there was probably some embellishment. Neither players got a penalty for either the hit or the slash. Have a look for yourself on Crosby's hit:
Holby was upset and gave Crosby a whack on the legs later in the shift.
Last season, former Dallas Stars centreman Cody Eakin was suspended 4 games for a similar hit on New York Rangers' star goaltender Henrik Lundqvist.
Do you think the hit is suspension worthy?
