Saucer of milk, table two!

In the world of hockey, this was pretty weak … especially when you compare it to another recent fight that got a lot less ink.  But hey, these are the two superstars of the modern game, you can’t exactly have them wailing on each other either.

Crosby came off as something of the psycho boyfriend variety, screaming in front of the Caps bench while his team was getting rolled.  Either way, Ovie proved why he’s currently the more likeable of the games two divas, even to one of Crosby’s hometown papers.
