Red Wings Troll Sidney Crosby After John Scott's All-Star Performance

The 2016 NHL All-Star game was owned by John Scott. He scored two goals and was named the game's MVP.
The story itself was great and the NHL got it right by naming Scott the MVP.
Dylan Larkin was the Red Wings lone participant in the game and he failed to score. That didn't stop the Red Wings from capitalizing on Scott's name.
As I stated earlier: Scott scored two goals, and the Red Wings had fun with it at Sidney Crosby's expense.
Mic drop. The reactions are priceless. And isn't Twitter all about the reaction gifs these days?
Crosby has appeared in one All-Star game in his career and didn't score a goal.
"It's not really crazy considering I missed on three chances because of the Olympics (2006, 2010, 2014) and four because of injury," Crosby said before a game last Friday against the New York Islanders. "One was a high-ankle sprain, two were concussions, and one was my knee."
The Red Wings will face off with Crosby and the Penguins Thursday, February 18, 2016.
For the record, Crosby has 319 career goals while Scott sits with five career NHL goals. I think Crosby didn't have his feelings hurt too much.
