Video- Islanders Not Happy With Crosby Goal

10/28/2016 at 12:25pm EDT

from Arthur Staple of Newsday,

Longtime nemesis Sidney Crosby scored the winner with 2:25 to play in the Islanders’ 4-2 loss to the Penguins on Thursday night. The Pittsburgh captain got room to beat Jaroslav Halak from in close by standing up Johnny Boychuk behind the net with what the entire Islanders room felt was an elbow to Boychuk’s head. Boychuk was stunned, lost his stick and went to retrieve it while Crosby nestled in the slot.

“It’s frustrating when you get elbowed in the head and that guy scores the goal,” a heated Boychuk said after the Islanders fell to 3-5-0. “I’m sure if it was reversed, I’d be getting a phone call from the league and a suspension.”...

“It was a high hit, no question,” Jack Capuano said. “The disappointing thing is the official is right next to [Boychuk]. He didn’t even have the puck.”

Boychuk said the referee closest to him, Jean Hebert, asked him if he was OK. “And their players were asking me,” an incredulous Boychuk said. “I’m fine, so I guess that’s good. But if it was anyone else, they’d be getting a call from the league.”
