Sidney Crosby Drops the Gloves for the First Time

By Chris Mottram
Hockey megastar Sidney Crosby (as seen on the Vs. channel, among other major media outlets) got into his first fight last night. Because the only time we’re probably ever going to talk about the NHL is to bring you fisticuffs, please watch as the kid bloodies up his opponent’s grill piece:

The fight also means Crosby earned his first Gordie Howe hat trick for notching a goal, an assist, and a fight in the same game. Clearly, far more impressive than a conventional hat trick.
