Sidney Crosby setup Conor Sheary’s Game 2 overtime winner with a designed faceoff play, but far more interesting were the charges two San Jose Sharks lobbed at the Penguins’ captain postgame.

Logan Couture and Marc-Edouard Vlasic questioned Crosby’s on-ice integrity during faceoffs and accused him of receiving preferential treatment from officials.

“He cheats,” Couture said. “He gets away with it. He’s Sidney Crosby. He times them and they don’t kick him out for some reason, probably because of who he is.”

Crosby dominated in the dot in Game 2, winning 17-of-24 draws (71 per cent). He is now 26-for-40 (65 per cent) in the Stanley Cup final. His faceoff win accounted for his second point in two games in the series, but he has been a force every time the puck is on his stick.

“Maybe he should’ve been kicked out. It took him a while to get into the faceoff,” Vlasic contended. “But what do I know?”
