SUNRISE, FLA. -- Sidney Crosby was a little disappointed with the way his All-Star weekend ended.

"It was 6-4, we had the lead," he said with a big grin on Saturday at the Panthers' FLA Live Arena. "After that it kind of slipped away a little bit. ... All the build up, and it's a quick exit."

Crosby and the Metropolitan Division were eliminated in the first round of the All-Star Game's three-on-three tournament in a 10-6 loss to the Atlantic Division, failing to advance to the championship game. The biggest disappointment for Crosby was that he wouldn't get to face his buddy Nathan MacKinnon in the final, after MacKinnon and the Central Division won their opening game.
