The rivalry between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers is a long and storied one, one that is hyper charged with emotion and even hatred on both sides of the state of Pennsylvania. It is thanks to the intensity of that rivalry however that we can enjoy amusing moments like this, moments where diehard fans go out of their way to give their team every edge that they can.

Fans of the Philadelphia Flyers have done just that, coming up with a very creative way of trolling Penguins captain Sidney Crosby ahead the 4th, and what could be the final, game of this series.

The Penguins will once again be in Philadelphia for Game 4 when they face off against the Flyers at the Wells Fargo Center, but awaiting them on their journey to the arena will be a hilarious surprise. A group that goes by the name Phans of Philly has taken out a billboard along the path the Penguins' bus takes to the arena, a billboard that depicts Crosby in a moment he would likely rather forget.

That billboard of course depicts the moment in which Crosby very clearly took a dive at the face-off circle after Flyers forward Garnet Hathaway skated by. Hathaway's stick may have made contact with Crosby's face, but the reaction from the Penguins captain was well over the top and earned him a penalty for embellishment as a result of his actions.

It seems the Flyers fan base is intent on making sure that, in what could very well go down as the final Stanley Cup playoff appearance of Sidney Crosby's career, no one forgets this unfortunate moment from the Penguins captain.
