Breaking: Major controversy after Sidney Crosby throws water bottle at player from the bench.

Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby is very, very, lucky.

Crosby got away with a big faux-pas on Thursday night, and one that might have cost his team a goal, when he threw a water bottle at a Nashville Predators player skating up the ice while Crosby himself was on the Penguins bench.

Not only was there no penalty called on the play, but the Penguins would end up scoring yet another goal their fifth of the game, courtesy of forward Phil Kessel.

Crosby could later be seen telling the official that it was not intentional, however his arm does appear to make a throwing motion before he releases the water bottle onto the ice. 

 That being said, it seems unlikely the penalty would have changed much as the Penguins already had a four-goal lead, now a five-goal lead.
