Sometimes, a situation calls for a player to overlook who is wearing what color of jersey. Crosby made an effort to settle down friend, part-time Olympics linemate and Boston center Patrice Bergeron while Bruins center Marc Savard was taken off on a stretcher in the third period after a hit by the Penguins’ Matt Cooke.
“It’s a terrible situation when you’ve got a guy hurt like that,” Crosby said. “They’re upset seeing a teammate and a friend lying there. For the odd time probably, I’m just trying to make things a little bit calmer over there.”
