Sidney Crosby Shows Frustration After Loss to the New Jersey Devils
The Pittsburgh Penguins lost 2-1 in a shootout to the New Jersey Devils today, and captain Sidney Crosby displayed some disappointment after the game.
The Pittsburgh Penguins lost 2-1 to the New Jersey Devils today in a shootout despite a great performance in net by Arturs Silovs, who is making as strong a case as any why he should be the Penguins starter.
The Penguins scored only once against Devils goalie Jake Allen, something that captain Sidney Crosby showed some clear frustration over and said it's something that his team shouldn't accept.
We can't accept just getting one [goal], but sometimes the game's going to dictate that. Sometimes it's not going to go your way, [but] we've just got to continue to play the right way. I thought we did that.
We didn't try to cheat for offense. We had some good looks, [but] unfortunately they didn't go in.

Ryan Graves was the only goal scorer for the Penguins during the game, while Silovs made 23 saves.
The Penguins are still second overall in the Metropolitan Division, only a point behind the Devils.
Sidney Crosby Is Still The Subject Of Trade Rumours
Before the season, Crosby continued to be the subject of trade rumours and was linked to teams like the Montreal Canadiens and Pittsburgh Penguins.
Thanks to the Penguins hot start to the season under first year head coach Dan Muse, who took over after Mike Sullivan was let go, Crosby will likely be more determined than ever to win another Stanley Cup while still wearing a Penguins sweater.
Whether or not the Penguins can maintain their hot streak will remain to be seen. But it's still one of the more interesting storylines this season so far.
