I don't think Crosby gets beneficial treatment, I just think he's a lot better. Every successful hockey player finds creative ways to cheat in order to get the leg up. I doubt they aren't calling Crosby because of his name, they're not calling him because he's just better at it. If Couture was doing the same thing just as good as Crosby was, it wouldn't be an issue. Couture isn't as good so it is an issue.
Habernac said it, losers make excuses, that's why it looks bad. If Couture comes out and says it's the reason Crosby wins then he's bringing it into light and pointing it out and maybe Crosby starts to get called on it. By pouting and saying "you like him more than you like me" it will likely have the opposite reaction he's looking for.
