Crosby to beer-tossing Flyers fans: 'Those things were full. What a waste.'

Sidney Crosby brewed up the perfect response Sunday when asked about fans at Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center who tossed cups of beer onto the ice in the final minute of Sunday's season-ending 8-5 defeat to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

"Those things were full. What a waste," Crosby quipped to The Athletic's Josh Yohe. "Guess they have to be full to throw them that far."

Fans started throwing objects onto the ice before Penguins forward Bryan Rust scored into an empty Flyers net to seal the victory, and play was delayed while the arena staff cleared the debris.
