Imagine giving an opposing player a downward shove while he’s laying on top of your own goalies head. Nice one Dubois, fuggin smooth brain.
Dubois is a plug. Total failure who just acts like an idiot to compensate.
And then go after the guy who he pushed into the goalie. This guy is a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic, eh?
Я согласен с тобой
He helped shove Crosby into hellebuyck.
Thought the exact same brother😂😂
I know 'defend your goalie at all costs', but buddy, you can hear Crosby talking to Hele, don't come and try to rip him away, especially when he's still stuck around the net...
Was that Morrissey? Totally uncalled for
@@Oxmen33 Dubois I believe. Actually I have no idea
@@Oxmen33 That was Dubois, no wonder he's been known to be a complete piece of trash. Especially doing shit like this, like c'mon man. I didn't like him when he was here in Columbus, and I can't stand him with Winnipeg either. I've only ever tried to talk to him once, and that was just to ask him about hockey. I didn't want a picture, or video, or signing, or anything like that and he was a complete prick to not only me but others. After that I lost all respect for the guy, and knew he's likely just a outright piece of shit on and off the ice. I'm glad he's gone from Columbus, the organization is MUCH better off without someone as toxic as him.
Yup, Bush league.
Clearly no malice intent, and clearly general concern after by Crosby.
Taking your glove off and trying to actually help the guy off your tend, maybe try that next time
most cases ya gotta answer the bell. I can imagine a couple guys faking innocence to avoid getting punched. of course Crosby's not that kind of guy
Props to Sid. As a former goalie I can appreciate somebody at least apologizing for something like that. Not much he could do there.
i agree with you and how old are you
@@meaarrington1563 28. I played goalie for 13 years and had to quit after tearing my labrum in my right hip which required surgery
@@mastersloan ouch!
As a forward I appreciate when the goalie understands that it was a bit of an unfortunate situation where the player couldn't really do anything so they don't immediately snap and go after the player. I've played for about 17 or 18 years, some of those years once I started playing mens rec I even played on three teams and in my entire life I've taken around 20 total penalties, all minors with no double minors, no majors and no game misconducts or suspensions. All but three of my penalties have been tripping with most of those being guys stepping on my stick. I would never intentionally try to run a goalie (in fact someone running my goalie is really the only time I would ever lose my cool on the ice) but at the same time during play I'm going to go hard to the net on scoring plays which occasionally can lead to situations like this one. I like to play hard between whistles but I don't want any part of any unnecessary after the whistle crap.
Funny story: One time in mens rec I went to cut across the offensive blue line going 1 on 1 and for whatever reason their dman decided to hip check me. I ended up going airborn and pretty much did a front flip landing with my left skate and right knee on the ice. Everyone else on the ice started a scrum and I just chilled there watching the scrum with my one knee on ice, leaning on my stick like an 12 year old at practice when coach is at the whiteboard as I laughed at what just happened, not the slightest bit mad. In all seriousness if it was contact hockey it would have been one of the best hip checks I'd ever seen. Funny thing was, I was by far our best player and the guy who hit me was by far their best player. If his thinking was "I'm going to hurt their best player so the two best players are gone and we can easily win the game" it proved to be a bold strategy because with him gone for the hit and me not the slightest bit hurt never missing a shift we ended up winning the game 8-5. Unfortunate it didn't happen in the mens league here that has video cameras in the rink and streams games online because I'd of loved to watch the video and definitely would have sent it to Pavel Barber as the whole situation was pretty funny for a mens league game
Except... Y'know, NOT skating full speed into him.
Class move by Crosby. Given his concussion history I'm sure that he had genuine concern for Hellebuyk.
Absolutely agree, I've been looking for a comment about Sid's concussion history being a part of why he was immediately concerned. Very classy especially considering he was shoved twice into Hellebuyck by Dubois, which I still don't understand
EDIT: misspelled Sid
well said ...
that one handed deflection is unbelievable. The stuff sid does at high speed that that majority of hockey fans miss is amazing
tbf it looks like the defender kind of drove him into the goalie
@@Slowe_ which makes the difficulty of the deflection even more impressive
@@smudent2010 sids a good player but I wouldn't include him with the greats.
@@isidro9911 thats a smart comment
@@isidro9911 why not ? Sidney is a beast at Center… who do you think is better with Pavel Datsyuk and Crosby? Cus Pavel is a great
Crosby would’ve barely made contact if Dubois didn’t hit him! Dubois also hit him when he was down, crushing him into Hellebuyck’s head more forcefully. I’m so sick of players blaming the opponent, when they are constantly putting their own goalie at risk like this.
Eh, this is entirely on Dubois though only that last dumbass shot and then the reaction going at Sid for it should draw ire from people, the initial sequence was accidental and the Dubois "push" was more just from momentum I.M.O.
Sid tried to cut in front of Hellebuyck but Dubois' stick pins against Helle and trips Sid who then gets "pushed"/nudged forward onto Helle with Dubois' stick under him and then Dubois lifts his stick causing Sid to roll onto Helle's head.
It happened fast and was unfortunate but nothing "dumbassery" about it till he goes full retard with the second shove on Helle's head and the reaction BS, Dubois must have been hit in the head too many times himself.
Come on Dubois... you must be embarrassed
He was pushing Crosby off his goalie. Its not like he shoved him into him and went to cross check him continously.
@@carnjohnson4549 Crosby didn’t exactly cut out of the way, but he was also shoved by Dubois.
Shoves Crosby into his own goaltender, and then looks to the refs for a “save me” call.
Clown move. 🤡
@@carnjohnson4549 Bro he cross checked Crosby while he was on his goalie's head
Crybaby Dubois
Dubois is literally the biggest joke in the league
As a former goalie... about 95% of contact was always due to my own players shoving, pushing, tripping, or cross checking the opposing player into me... I always tried to protect the player who was pushed out of control when possible... The other 5% was me initiating the contact to make a play...
Props for keeping your opponents safe. At the end of the day we are all brothers out there
sigma goalie
Yeah I was a goalie as well. I'd always say don't push them in my direction and I'd always get at least hit at least 3 or 4 times in a game because my defender pushed someone into me. I think I got ran into on purpose once or twice a year and it was always in my shutout games.
Most players don't try to hit a goalie.
@@CubeInspector Agreed... sounds like we traversed some of the "same type" of ice...
That sound exactly like what happened. Their defender was right against he. He had no where else to go !
Next level class from Sid. It took Helle a second but I think he realized Sid was checking to make sure he was ok. Dubois is a clown
No he's not
@@geographyv9531 yes he is
@@connerhockey2540 lol
@@connerhockey2540 it's a casual thing that all power forwards, grinders, enforcers and defenseman sometimes do. They just protect the goalies
@@geographyv9531 they protect their goalie by pushing opposing players into them? And then after they’ve been knocked down, continue to hit that player in the head? Ok I think it’s starting to make sense now… you’re an idiot
no one talking about that redirect? crosby is insane with hand eye
he is one of the best when it comes to those kinda things, would have been another insane highlight if he scored like that
I don’t know how he does it. Can’t think of anyone better
We're used to it. We are the City of Champions after all.
@@captainskeletor7783 lol "we" .. what did you contribute?
That’s called luck
I always love how the dummy that steers, pushes or forces a player into his own goalie is always the most upset by the collision. Dubois has Crosby’s right leg restricted, stick around C’s waist and lifting the weight off C’s front foot. Tough to defend when you’ve been beat for body position & nearly allow a game winner with seconds left. Dubois’ teammates should have swarmed him, not Crosby.
The shove on Crosby while on top of the goalie looked to do more harm to the goalie than Crosby landing on him, and I dislike Crosby so it's taking a real effort to stick up for him here
I’m a Caps season ticket holder and certified pens hater but Crosby is a stand up guy
@@ano1962 stand up and cry guy
@@Burt_Sampson kinda hypocritical you crying about it
@@davidkelly5585 when the hell did he cry about it lmao
@@gordo1191 by whining about someone who is more famous then he’ll ever be
why'd dubois shove him the second time into the goalie's head even more
I hate when players do that. They're at risk of injuring their goalie. The worst though has to be Keith Ballard when he accidentally hit Vokun in the head. PLD doesn't care about his goalie, he more cares about violence.
its a perfectly reasonable reaction from the defenseman, that push is simply saying don't touch the goalie, even though I pushed you into him
@@gburyhockey9 lol no it's not
@@gburyhockey9 that's the most contradicting comment I've ever read, yeah let me just potentially injure my goalie by pushing you more onto his head after I'm the reason you're even on him anyway then let me go cry to the refs for a penalty lmao nothing about Duboiss reaction was reasonable
No clue. The Jets can't afford another good player to get injured. Ehlers, Wheeler just coming back. If hellebuyck gets injured we're dead.
I love how Sid checks on the goalie, talks to him the entire time and Dubois starts getting involved the scrum when HE was the reason this happened, theres not enough accountability with in teams when this kind of things happens his team should seen the replay on the tron and immediately got after him for almost injuring their own goalie!
Dubois is the exact kind of guy that would get a attitude adjustment in the old days. what a brat
@@sammmy4495 I miss the old days…
Even if he instigated, thats how it goes. It would suck to keep competition at a "youre not allowed to talk about my mother" rule-scape. Like, its just a riff. No ones coming after your mum. Learn to Gab.
@@buzzroyale5346 what has chirping got to do with any of this? The point is Dubois put his goaltender in danger, not about whatever he said
Dubois should be checking on his own goaltender because of his mistake. Should be prime concern there.
Dubois and Crosby got tied up and momentum carried them into Helly, I think. I dislike how PLD hit Crosby when he was on Helly's head. That's your goalie bro. Let Sid get off him. Come on. Good on Crosby to make sure he's okay. Crosby has come a long way from his early career as far as maturity.
i agree. Be safe.
Looks like he was tripped and pushed at the same time....
I see Sid mouthing the “sorry man” afterwards. A true champion.
Sid is the best all around 200 ft hockey player to ever lace up a pair of skates. He does things that no one else in history can't do at half speed! Including Gretzky and Mario.
@bone-snypa 🤣🤣🤣 Imagine if ppl actually believed that!
@bone-snypa 🤣

@@noahparsons7688 autocorrect Karen...good Lord
Sid is the epitome of a class act in sports. Sad that there aren't more.
amazing that he can keep his cool in such intense situations. So many people wouldve reacted the opposite as sid did. what great all around player and person
He banged Mario Lemieuxs wife.... Not as classy
That one guy's finger disagrees. But this was classy.
Your joking right. Sods the biggest douche in the whole league
I’m sorry but why did you grab Crosby’s jersey to pull him away when he was making sure Helle was ok..?
Seems like pro sports in general these days. Oversensitive lookin for drama
Because if someone touches your goalie accident or not there is no forgivness.. a true hockey fan would know this. Leave it to a Crosby fan to whine about a light jersey tug.... ya'll whine worse than he does.
Edit: you all do know your watching hockey, right?
@@bluntly2165 a true idiot would think that
@@bluntly2165 lmao the Dubois was the reason crosby even made contact with helles then he proceeded to push crosby on helles head even more, then someone tries to rip crosby away from Helle while their talking and crosby is still caught in the net, that's just being a fucking troglodyte, dont attack someone for making contact with your tendy if it's your own fault lmaoo
@@bluntly2165 I am a true hockey fan but some of the incidents that happen don’t need a whole scrum afterwards. Yes goalie interference is understandable but the fact that the opposing team player was making sure ok then being dragged away is not fair to that person.
This year , there has been so many players of their own team doing dumb moves towards their goalie...
As much as I’m not a fan of Cros, this was class.
same
Strange why Sid didn't punch him in the balls for getting in his way!
I’m no Penguins fan but I don’t know how someone couldn’t be a fan of Crosby. He’s a legend.
@@oilersridersbluejays Legend at being the biggest crybaby in the NHL, although McDavid is going for that crown now. Tough call.
How on earth could u not be a fan of one of the nicest and most skilled players of all time?
1:20 "as Crosby steamrolls him" lol He got pushed in and even tripped over Hellebuycks skate before making contact, nothing he could of done,. Total respect for Sid, and how about that deflection!! That was almost the game!!!
Steamroll is usually meant as getting destroyed in sports. But, in this case, he did roll over Hellebuyck like a steamroller.
Steamrolls in the actual sense, he rolled over him as a steamroller would.
It's crazy that sometimes I forget he's still playing like a superstar but Media doesn't care for him anymore.
he’s doing great but I think it’s just “normal” for him now
Respect to Sid but PLD shoved him into Helly
Dude he totally did imo. Makes sense cause Crosby and PLD have had a feud going back to 2019.

That's why he's our captain...👍
Dubois's push on Crosby while he was rolling on the head of Hellebuyck, yeah very smart from him. That push hurts Hellebuyck more than the collision.
Sid The Kid form Nova Scotia Canada showing his class. Thanks for sharing
i imagine syd being like " op, pardon me, just gonna sneak past ya hear, sorry buddy"
"shit, shoreh bud, you good?"
There’s a lot of people that might not like Crosby but he’s one hell of a sportsman with this
As a flyers fan and being born in the 90’s, I’ve always grown up to hate sid but man do I have to say that guy has some fucking talent man.
The camera work by the NHL is second to none in any sport, IMO. Simply superb.
God i love ure videos . No other highlights and compilations as this channel. Any where on the planet.. always at good lengths and entertainment.. looking forward for more 👌
It's not a coincidence that so many of our greatest hockey players have been good people first. The right attitude is what allows some people to succeed or even thrive, where others get by as best they can. Crosby, Gretzky, Lemieux, McDavid and many others put all their energy into being the best players they can be.
Was at this game...absolutely insane game
that's massive sportsmanship there, there isn't pride in winning when someone gets hurt, and he had no where to go, he just wanted to make sure that people were alright, and I respect that
Whoever skated over and grabbed Sid’s jersey is a straight GOOF
Sid is an absolute legend
Your thumbnails are just as nice as the jets Jersey
pretty rude to the thumbnail
Great example of Good Sportsmanship 👍
Nice vid, could you do eavesdropping moments? Players entering huddles, etc.
How are you going to redirect and push someone into your own goalie and then continue to threaten them as if you had nothing to do with it
compare this to how Greenway acted after he ran over Kuemper... good on Crosby.
I mean, Greenway did it on purpose, so of course they're going to act differently.
@@peterpike yes that is true.... fuck DOPS
Glad to see the goalie is all right. Class move from Crosby.
PLD now plays here in LA (three players going the other way).
Honestly with the flyers in the tank and no signs of any life.
It’s been nice to watch hockey with zero bias. The goalie’s reaction alone implied it was incidental contact.
Dubois made that worse for Hele...Crosby clearly tried to avoid him as best he could. Dubois needs to grow up.
Sid is as good a guy as he is a hockey player, real classy player!
Not a huge Crosby fan but I like his good sportsmanship. He’s a good guy
This the classiest thing I've ever seen from Crosby!!!😮😮😮 still a diving bit but gj this time checking in opp!!!
Dubois definitely made that worse by ramming Sid down on the goalies head
Common Crosby W
True
It cracks me up when guys push someone into their own goalie and then act mad at the guy they pushed. 😂
Glad to see Sid, taking time to make sure the goalie was okay. Seriously though, players need to stop pushing players into their own goaltender.
what a gentleman you don't see sportsmanship like this outside of hockey
Crosby always was, still is and always will be a class act
I'm a red wings fan. Born and bred from the same city. But lately, it seems like Crosby is a really good dude. Sportsman like conduct is always a nice thing to see.
I get that you have to assert some sort of dominance when your goalie gets hit. That being said; we are WAY too sensitive these days. Crosby showed more concern and was a better teammate for this goalie than his own guys. Again, I get the fact they want to spark a comeback but man; it really devolves back into a 5th grade kickball scrum during recess . Embarrassing.
not even sparking a comeback either they have ten seconds left in ot like wtf are they doing
Heart of pure gold
Sid is a stand up guy, he brings class to the sport. Can't really say the same for Dubois who'd rather dump a player in the back of the net, sure it's in the moment but good on Sid for just being human and a proper sportsman.
That "You Fuck!" At the end 🤣🤣🤣
Props to acknowledging his mistake and checking on him after. Classy player for sure
As a defence man myself, it pisses me off when players push people into the goalies and then get mad at the guy who got pushed. Physicality is good but don’t push people into your own goalie
Happened three or so times already in the last couple of weeks, IIRC.
This guy has best hand-eye coordination ever. He's already got probably at least the top five tip-ins ever, this could've been the greatest.
Both are total class acts..they showed a professionalism that their teams can learn from.
Like Don Cherry would say " You hockey kids pay attention here.."❤
I love hockey, and I've always been fine with the fighting aspect of it, as well. But my one gripe (other than some bad officiating) is all the fake "tough guy" acts that go on. The constant need to be offended by any little thing, so that you can go shove someone around and cat fight with him, so you feel like you're sending some kind of message. Sorry, but that's just pathetic.
Here, we see a guy clearly push a player into his own goalie; not hard, but just enough to send Crosby off balance, and yet he wants to act mad about it. Give it a rest. We all know what you did; you know what you did, and everyone knows that you're trying to earn tough guy points. Nobody is fooled. Just sit down and shut up. I'm absolutely sick of watching these little phony shoving (posturing) matches after nearly every whistle. It just bogs the game down.
I mean thats the history of the game. If you watch back to any of the games through the 80's and 90's almost the entire league was filled with nothing but guys playing the tough guy, outside of a few actual tough guys, and the rare player who could handle the puck really well or skate quick and if you were one of the later it meant there was a target on your head.
@@KingSulley Oh, I know, trust me. And after nearly 25 years since I started watching hockey, I'm just over that part of it. I appreciate a good fight, that is actually the result of something worthy of defending a teammate. But the posturing is just ridiculous. I know it won't go away, but I'm just venting. It's a boring and pointless part of the game.
@@eddiestanford7308 I agree with you. It's part of what makes watching any given team play against the bruins so damn hard. That and how the league STILL cant seem to come up with a consistent way of enforcing their own rules.
@@KingSulley Yeah, there is no consistency in rule enforcement. And NHL refs have exactly zero accountability. I watched the Avalanche get called for too many men on the ice in overtime against the Predators, and it turned out that the refs had miscounted, as replays clearly showed just 3 players on the ice. No correction was made, the Preds scored on that power play, and weeks later, still not even as much as an apology from the league.
But it's the slashing and cross checking that really drives me nuts. They either call nothing, or everything, it seems.
Fights in hockey are a good thing, they add an extra bit of spice to the sport, as well as letting teammates stick up for one another. Although most fights occur because of an injury, rivalry fights are also good for the sport. It’s when the fights become completely unreasonable, such as when a player is quite literally apologizing to the injured player and making sure they are ok, as seen in the video.
Again, rivalries are a great thing in the sport, fights are very much a part of being rivals in hockey, it causes energy to build in the building, and it also is just part of the teams showing dislike for each other.
On the other hand, when players get injured *intentionally*, it’s right for someone to stick up for them. As seen in the video though, Crosby clearly is apologizing and making sure the goaltender is alright, a fight is completely unnecessary in this situation.
In the case of say a dirty hit, a fight is perfectly acceptable because the team is sticking up for the victim of the hit.
In the case of a rivalry, it adds more to the game, making the rivalry more intense.
I despise both of these people as players but I'm always here for a wholesome hockey moment
Why do you despise hellebuyck and crosby
@@kylesigfusson1174 I'm a newer preds fan, I got into hockey the season after we lost in the final. So there was a lot of negative emotions surrounding Crosby at the time.

The hell is Dubois doing there? "Hey, this guy's on top of my goalie after I forced him into the crash. I'm gonna push him into my prone goalie's head more as a lesson. Yay me, time to go eat glue."
1:38 I thought throat/neck protectors would be mandatory by now.
I'm referring to those plastic things that look like a baby's dinner table bib. Brodeur used to wear one.
Jets are my second fav team and I like Crosby so this was hard to watch lol
Crosby was clearly moving to go around to the left of Hellybuck and was pushed into him.
Anyone else come back to rewatch this?? Sid is such a class act on AND off the ice. 36 years old and still a legend. I have to mention though bc no one in the comments has said it, but that was a hell of a pass from Letang
looked like he might have caught an edge and when down, props to him for checking on he goalie, great sportsman ship by both
So... It doesn't look like Dubois pushed Crosby into Helly. Watch at 1:26. Crosby made an attempt to stop, his skate collides with Hellys, and he falls into him. Dubois was just... Behind Crosby. With that being said, Dubois is an idiot for shoving at Crosby while he's already pancaking on top of the goalie.
Way to go Crosby for having class checking on Helly.
Good eye
Spot on
Doesn't look like it was an actual push. More like they got tied up and Crosby already had the forward momentum going. Just a hockey moment.
Crosby had body position and was cutting across the front of the net, the only place he can go is between the goalie and Dubois. And Dubois closed that space so the only thing Crosby can do at that speed is collide with the goalie. Its exactly the same thing, Dubois caused that.
@@TMJ32 Exactly. Sid was trying to go to Helle's left and Dubois could've easily let that happen but no
"Human shows concern for another human." In hockey, an athlete showing compassion is newsworthy. It should just be normal.
At least we didn’t see a repeat of the Steve Tuttle/Clint Malarchuk collision back in 1989. Especially since Hellebuyck wasn’t wearing any neck protection.
seeing his skates up like that gives me the willies...

Lierre Luc Lubois
Dubois drives Crosby through the crease and flips him with the stick onto his own goalie then gets mad about what just happened… all while Crosby actually checking to see if the goalie is ok… pretty much everything wrong with that play was because of PLD… kinda embarrassing after watching the replays lol.
As a goalie, I understand that shit happens. Even tho I think my team should always defend me, sometimes it be for stuff opposing player couldn’t prevent
Interesting play.
To be fair, there was a slight push, and the original contact was outside the crease. Hockey play.
Reason sid was concerned for Connor I believe is because he knows what concussions are like. He def has empathy.
Good sportsmanship from both players
Love that 80 pushes Crosby down on to his GKs head rather than trying to pick up Crosby
Dubois over here shoving him into his own goalies head, what a shifter.
Exactly like in this case, about 99.9% of cases where there's goalie collision, the goalie's own team is responsible for pushing the other player into him.
Crosby tried to avoid him, but couldn't because of the other player checking him.
The only time I saw an opposing player purposely hit the goalie was Krieder when he took out Carey Price.
Best part of this game was Crosby shaking ands joking with the refs at the end of it which sums up that game perfectly
I love when Hockey Players are actually human with each other
Glad they're both ok. I was really worried.
To me it looked bad until I saw the 2nd to last camera angle. Crosby does all he can to avoid contact with the goalie's head. He makes his left shoulder practically disappear. Had he chosen the other way, that poor goalie would have left the building in an ambulance. It all happened in a fraction of a second. It's not luck, it's just a player making the conscious decision to show some sportsmanship. Many other players get10x that amount of time to make a decision in similar situations and they pick the other option. Perhaps in that split second Crosby had flashbacks of previous injuries he suffered. And did not forget that the opposing team players are human beings too.
Honestly, well done Sid. You're a legend.
That hand eye coordination is insane
As a sharks fan. Respect to sid and Connor for being men about it and asking and answering each other. I feel with players like sid and heli their team mates should wait a sec before freaking out because these elites have a different view on hits etc. they both knew the game and knew it wasn’t intentional
Surprising to see that from Sid.
If that had gone in, it would have been allowed. Contact was initiated by Hellebuyck outside the crease. Dubois didn't push Crosby into the goalie and Crosby did what he could possibly do to avoid the contact.
Wow almost an incredible goal as well.
Props to sid for making sure the goalie was ok after
That tip off the post was mental
