Arthur Staple at Newsday reports..."This is more about Crosby the entity. If the Rangers were convinced that Marty Brodeur loved to flop when they skated by his crease, they should be absolutely certain that Crosby will whine to the refs every time he's bodied off a puck or otherwise interrupted.
Sid the Kid is the best player in the game, but at just 20 years old, he's become a master at complaining and drawing penalties with dives or overreactions to slashes and sticks waving by his face. Which is unfortunate, because he's a pretty tough player, in addition to all that skill.
The Rangers have seen some of it this season -- Crosby drew a couple of penalties by hamming it up during a 3-1 Penguins win on March 30 -- but this will be an overdrive time for Crosby to get his team on the power play...
...But the Rangers have the edge in experience, on defense and in goal. Where they won't have the edge is in the eyes of the officials, who are already on watch for Avery's shenanigans and Crosby's overall health."
...it will be an absolute crime if the referees hand this series to the Penguins. Ranger fans better put a plexiglass screen in front of their TV so they don't throw their remote through it.
...if the refs are as bad as everyone thinks they'll be, Renney's going to have to do something. And I don't mean throwing benches on the ice, I'm talking about publicly criticizing the referees early in the series to put a spotlight on their performance.

THE SERIES DIDN'T EVEN START YET AND YOUR COMPLAINING ABOUT THE REFS. MAKING EXCUSES ALREADY... SHUT UP AND PLAY HOCKEY.
IS THAT CINDY WRITING ABOUT THE SERIES NOT EVEN STARTING? STFU
ITS WELL KNOWN THAT CINDY COULD TRY OUT FOR AN OLYMPIC DIVING TEAM.
YEP HE IS THAT GOOD. AND IVE SEEN SOME OF THE CALLS MADE, SURE LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE TRYING TO PROTECT THE NHL'S GOLDEN GIRL. IVE NEVER SEEN A PLAYER COMPLAIN SO MUCH AT EVERY CALL. ALL YOU SEE IS HIS HUGE LIPS FLAPPING AT THE REFS AND HORSE TEETH ALL GAME LONG.
