from Scott Burnside of ESPN,
• Actual quote: Sidney Crosby was asked about his highly publicized slash of Henrik Zetterberg in Game 5.
“I haven’t seen it replayed, but I don’t have any regrets. He cross checked me earlier on. It’s not about getting back at guys at this point. We’ve got to play hockey here and worry about winning a game.”
Translation: I only regret I didn’t do it harder and before they started waxing us. And, as for getting back at someone, I’m working on a play where I bank it in off Zetterberg, Pavel Datsyuk and Don Cherry’s left knee for the winner. See you in Detroit on Friday.
• Actual quote: Crosby also was asked about the team’s response to Game 5 and reminded questioners the Pens were in 10th place midway through the season and would gladly take a one-game shot to get to a seventh game of the Stanley Cup finals. “So, we’re keeping things in perspective here knowing what we have to do,” Crosby said.
Translation: If I have to watch Marian Hossa hoist the Stanley Cup on Tuesday night, I might throw up.
