Crosby Throws Fehervary into Boards in Big Capitals Win
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Martin Fehervary didn’t have much to say about the hit he took from Sidney Crosby in the Washington Capitals’ 6-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Fehervary, who stood out with a shorthanded goal and solid defensive showing against Pittsburgh, chased the puck with a frustrated Sidney Crosby. As both were going behind the net, Crosby appeared to grab the 22-year-old blueliner and throw him into the boards.

There was no call on the play, which was somewhat of a questionable and considerably dangerous hit.
When asked about the play, Fehervary wasn’t dwelling too much on it.
“I don’t know, I don’t even know what should I talk about,” he laughed. “I don’t care. We’ll see next game.”
