Sidney Crosby shrugs off photo of Sochi accommodations

The rather cramped quarters awaiting Olympic hockey players in Sochi was the talk of Twitter on Tuesday, but Canadian captain Sidney Crosby doesn't seem overly bothered by the situation.

“Pretty similar to Vancouver,” he told the Tribune-Review, referring to the 2010 Winter Games. “Not quite that tight, but we had three guys in a room, and I think (Boston Bruins star Patrice) Bergeron was sleeping in a closet. … To house that many athletes in that small a (town), it's probably what you're going to see.”

Safe to say Penguins' teammate and fellow Olympian Chris Kunitz will be the "small spoon" in any tight sleeping situation in Crosby's room.
