You probably thought Erik Karlsson couldn't get any more likable. You were wrong.
A GIF of the Ottawa Senators captain and all-world defenseman is flying around the web, in which it appears Karlsson takes an awesome dig at Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, who seemingly always has some words for his teammates before the puck drops. Karlsson - in either Game 1 or Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final - used some gibberish to let No. 87 know he's hip to the whole talk-to-your-teammates thing.
Whenever it happened, there's really nothing better than a little gamesmanship during the Stanley Cup Playoffs, especially between two of the most talented players on the planet.
