Ovechkin - Crosby war of words

The NHL can forget about 2 of the biggest names in hockey being buddy-buddy for now. Near the end of the 2nd period in the Capitals' 5-2 crushing of the Penguins, there was some pushing and verbal jabbing between the two. After the game, the lack of love ensued:

"What I can say about him?" Ovechkin said. "He is a good player, but he talks too much."

And what does Crosby make of Ovechkin's showmanship?

"Like it or lump it, that's what he does," Crosby said. "Some people like it, some people don't. Personally, I don't like it."

More on that, including game highlights can be found here.

Personally, I don't have much of an opinion on this. I'm not a fan of Crosby or his jabbering. I like Ovechkin and his showmanship, however. Let's hope this battle escalates.
