This is really no different than what Crosby is doing, and is all part of the game. Coaches makes comments in the media all the time about not getting calls and such, this is the exact same thing.

I'm fine with Crosby cheating on draws, and I'm fine with the Sharks trying to get him kicked out of the circle. Both teams trying to gain an advantage.

Side note: There is nothing more annoying than taking a draw and having the other guy trying to time it and knock it out of the air.
It's fine to call him out on it but do it in a more "tasteful" way. Saying "he gets away with it because of who he is" is just whining. If he would have said something about how good he is at cheating or timing it so he doesn't have to have his stick down or something like that, it sounds a lot better. That way you're saying "HE CHEATS" without pouting. I agree with saying something about it but the optics of how you go about it are pretty important.
