COLUMBUS, Ohio — An Ohio newspaper has reportedly canceled its plans to give out crying Sidney Crosby masks amid the Stanley Cup playoff series between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Columbus Blue Jackets.
The Columbus Dispatch on Friday tweeted, “#CBJ fans, make sure you pick up Sunday's Dispatch. You can get a #SidTheKid mask to wear to Sunday's #PITvsCBJ game @NationwideArena.”
Penguins’ fans weren’t having it.
.@DispatchAlerts Pretty cool if you're from Philadelphia and it's 2008.

You should really ask @NHLFlyers fans if this is a good strategy.

The Dispatch’s tweet has since been deleted.
On Saturday morning, Dispatch reporter Aaron Portzline tweeted that the paper’s plans had changed.
