Sidney Crosby dressed as Rocky Balboa, a Philly icon, for Halloween

Sidney Crosby, arguably the best hockey player in the world, plays for the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins and their fans don’t like the Philadelphia Flyers, and the feeling is quite mutual. Flyers fans have a particularly strong hatred for Crosby. With that in mind, do you think Sid the Kid dressing as Rocky Balboa for Halloween was an oversight or an epic troll job?

Balboa, of course, is a Philadelphia legend. The movie character — which was based on a real Philly fighter — that made Sylvester Stallone famous is worshipped by the City of Brotherly Love. There’s no way Crosby doesn’t know that.

Flyers fans can wear all the anti-Crosby jerseys they want and swear at him with their license plates, but his Halloween costume officially puts him in the lead in the trash-talking department for the time being.
