I had to laugh loudly at this one.

During Wednesday's Penguins-Rangers game at MSG, Ranger, um, agitator Colton Orr took a poke at Penguins captain and hockey messiah Sidney Crosby.

Pittsburgh's Eric Godard did what he felt was the right thing, immediately coming to Crosby's defense and eventually goading Orr into a fight. The video of the scrap, courtesy of HockeyFights.com:



The replay of Orr's horrifying cross-check of Crosby follows the fight. You'll be happy to know Sir Sidney is okay, as he assisted on the Penguins' first goal and later on mixed it up a bit with Orr himself (not a fight). He also didn't fall to the ice after Orr hit him, which I'm sure shocked most Rangers fans.

New York got the last laugh, winning the game in a shootout.
