Sidney Crosby was frustrated with Pittsburgh Penguins fans after the team's 6-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday. After falling behind 3-0, the Penguins fought back in the second period, closing the gap to one goal. However, their power play struggled, leading to boos from the crowd at PPG Paints Arena.
Crosby, who played 18:40 minutes and had two shots on goal, didn’t like the reaction from fans.
“You wouldn’t know it tonight,” Sidney Crosby said about the boos (via The Athletic.) “Would you? I mean, getting booed on the power play (in the third period.)”
Both the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Colorado Avalanche had 27 shots on goal. The Penguins won 61.8% of face-offs, while the Avalanche won 38.2%. Neither team scored on the power play, with the Penguins going 0/3 and the Avalanche 0/4.
