The Columbus Dispatch has cancelled plans to distribute Sidney Crosby "crying" masks in Sunday's paper ahead of Game 3.

The decision comes after the Blue Jackets fell behind 2-0 in their series against the the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday night.

Crosby owns one goal and two assists through the first two games of the best-of-seven series.

The Dispatch tweeted their plans Friday, but have since deleted the tweet. It was, however, screen grabbed by Yahoo's Josh Cooper, as seen below.

The masks were set to be distributed less than a month after Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk called Crosby a "a whiner beyond belief."

The Blue Jackets were not aware of the paper's plans.

Crosby scored 44 goals and added 45 assists in 75 regular season games.
