Crosby is experiencing frustration as the team's struggles continue, evident in his aggressive play during a recent game against the Jets where he resorted to cross-checking Kyle Connor and engaging in a brief fight. This behavior reflects a sense of desperation as he attempts to lead a team that is currently performing poorly, with the Penguins ranking last in the Metropolitan Division and facing significant challenges in both offense and defense. Despite being one of the franchise's cornerstones, Crosby's efforts are overshadowed by the team's overall decline and lack of young talent to support a successful future.
