Penguins superstar Sidney Crosby is revered by teammates and fans, but those that root for other teams really don’t like him very much.
It’s not a stretch to say that fans of rival teams — Capitals, Rangers, etc. — actually hate Crosby, so when he comes to town, they tend to bring their A-game.
That was the case at Madison Square Garden during Wednesday’s game, when a Rangers fan seated next to the penalty box apparently heckled him throughout the contest.
How’d Sid respond? By leaving him his stick, with a personalized message on it, essentially giving him props on the chirp job.
"Funny story from last night’s game. Guy sitting next to penalty box was lighting up Sid all game with some fantastic chirps. A trainer delivered this to him after the final buzzer." – @pickledotcom pic.twitter.com/9b7DkMw6nI

That was a pretty great gesture by Crosby.
