I don't think it's the fact that he's having to show some pushback that's centering negativity on him, but rather the way that he chooses to go about it.
Spearing Dom Moore in the balls, skating away and refusing to stand up for the action, then choosing to get involved in the scrum by raking his stick down Boyle's spine, then not addressing that until the refs are involved and taking shots at Boyle...slew footing Girardi...etc. etc.
My rec team recently played a women's team made up mostly of NCAA players, and we learned every filthy trick in the book from these girls. They did all the sorts of things you see Crosby doing - cheap, gutless, indefensible little shots that leave you thinking, "if only you were a man..."
Honestly I thought the days of Crosby being an embarrassing little puke were behind him but I'm having an easy time cheering for the Rangers the more I watch.
