Here come the waterworks. Again.
Water bottle shenanigans have kind of become a thing in the playoffs. Corey Perry got things started when he filled an opponent's glove with water. Henrik Lundqvist got in on the action when he sprayed Sidney Crosby after the Penguins star speared a Ranger in the groin. Shawn Thornton even squirted P.K. Subban while play was going on.
Chicago Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford is just the latest alleged perpetrator. But Crawford's accuser is a fan, not a fellow player, and he has reportedly gotten police involved.
According to TMZ, 27-year-old Kings fan Clark Wong filed a battery report with Los Angeles police claiming the goalie sprayed him in the face during Monday's game. TMZ also reported that police were investigating Crawford, but a spokesman told CBS Chicago that they were not investigating any matter related to Crawford.
Wong told TMZ he was heckling Crawford from behind the Blackhawks bench when Crawford was pulled in the third period. Wong said Crawford then sprayed him with his water bottle, which he believed was 'filled with backwash - along with water - and it has caused serious irritation to his eyes.'
TMZ reports that Wong was ejected from the game a few minutes later for 'taunting the players' and began to rub his eyes and complain about pain as he was being escorted out.
Chicago lost the game 5-2.
It has not been a great series for Crawford and the Blackhawks, who are down 3-1 against the Kings. The Kings have scored at least four goals in all but one game.
