Sidney Crosby breaks his silence over Connor McDavid suspension
"It's like anything, sometimes emotions get the best of you. It's a physical sport. The one time you see that, you probably didn't see the 9 hits Connor took. Those ones are the ones that never make the highlights. When you retaliate, you make the highlights"

According to Ryan Hall of Oilers Daily, Crosby, who is well known for taking many hits by many players over the years due to his superstar pedigree has sided with McDavid stating that he can understand that McDavid's emotions may have got the best of him and he retaliated.
While Crosby admits he wasn't a fan of the cross-check, he understands the frustration that comes with being a league superstar.
