JetBlue pilot asks if crying baby on flight is actually Sidney Crosby

After the Bruins’ 6-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final, members of the Boston media boarded a flight back to Beantown.

Perhaps the pilot of this JetBlue knew they were there. Perhaps the pilot simply isn’t a Sidney Crosby fan. Whatever the case, a crying baby led to a predictable joke about the Penguins captain, as relayed by Joe Haggerty of CSN Boston and Dan Roche of WBZ:

Baby crying in back of Jet Blue flight packed w/Boston media. Pilot just got on intercom and asked if "Sidney Crosby was in the back crying"

Pilot hearing baby crying on our #JetBlue flight from Pitt to Boston: "Is that Sidney Crosby in back of our plane!" #wbz

At this point, it’s tough to keep track of the infantilism vs. the emasculation of Sidney Crosby: Crying baby on a JetBlue flight; Cosmo Photoshop on Twitter. It’s subtle, but we don’t think Boston appreciates the nuances of Sidney’s game.
