Claude Giroux Flattens Sidney Crosby Five Seconds Into Flyers-Penguins Game 6 Clash (Video)

The Flyers and Penguins have been trading blows throughout their playoff series, and it didn't take long for Sunday's Game 6 showdown to heat up.

Claude Giroux laid out Sidney Crosby just five seconds into the game, setting the tempo as the Flyers looked to finish off the Penguins.

Both Giroux and Crosby are known more for their goal-scoring ability than their physicality, but the two have shown that they're willing to throw the body around in order to spark their respective teams. The two superstars even dropped the gloves earlier in the series.
