Last night Crosby delivered a pretty vicious slash to the back of the knee of Troy Stecher of the Arizona Coyotes. While there was some definite embellishment on the play by Stecher, there is no doubt that this was a dirty shot and for sure would hurt.

Crosby did receive a 2-minute minor for slashing, but that wasn't enough in the fans eyes. Fans began freaking out online due to the fact that other players would definitely be getting a call from the league for a suspension or fine:
Sidney Crosby gave a double handed slash to the back of the knee is a clear attempt to injure he should be suspended at least 10 games.� Russell reed (@reedruss1) October 14, 2022
Marchand has now been suspended 18 games for Crosby's slash. https://t.co/capXQJn8Ox� Boston Pucks (@BostonPucks) October 14, 2022

Can't tell how hard the slash was - doesn't change the fact is a sissy move to slash the guy in the back of the legs as he's skating away.
Typical Crosby move. Watch out for that Trouba train next game! @deviantsyndrome @brandobau1 https://t.co/Beg3xZFvSi� Nicholas Bailey (@Mottslayer) October 14, 2022
