Crosby has the reputation of being a complainer and diver but because he is a good player and a potential NHL marketing star, NHL will protect him more than other players (same for Ovechkin and certain players and teams). Its not as blatant as the NBA in protection and how they let refs allow star players to get away with more stuff than regular players.
Difference between Crosby and Ovechkin is that Ovechkin hits back.

Same goes for

Malkin, Thornton, Getzlaf, Perry, Iginla, Richards, Etc.

Any of the listest players have I seen whine and bitch as much as Crosby, I have seen Getzlaf get slashed and nothing called, next shift he dropped the bitch to the ice.

With Crosby, it would be a 5 game suspension for intent to injure.
