Who did the survey, the NHLPA?
So the survey asked other players if Crosby was a cry baby?
Complaining or not agreeing with something is not being a cry baby.

ESPN does the poll once a year usually every February/March, they ask active NHL players. The most recent edition of this poll was done Feb.09. The Hockey News also does something very similar every year, asking NHLers similar questions and Crosby also came out far and above as the biggest complainer on ice.
Ah just Googled it and found it, its 52% of Surveyed players that said Crosby, far above any other player. The question was about complaining, but all you have to do is watch him on the ice and it's clear as day he whines non-stop about every little thing. No one is denying his skill, his constant whining/complaining is annoying.

QUESTION 4: WHICH PLAYER COMPLAINS THE MOST ON THE ICE?
• TOP VOTE-GETTER: Sidney Crosby (52%).
• A simple Google search will tell you what some fans think of Sidney Crosby on the ice ("cry baby" is the most often-used G-rated word); but at various times in his short career, Crosby has been accused of complaining too much to officials about calls or non-calls and embellishing fouls to draw penalties. It was a subject that was heightened during last season's playoffs. Crosby has repeatedly denied being that kind of a player.
• OTHER MENTIONS: Chris Pronger (8%); Sean Avery (7%); Steve Ott (5%); Ryan Getzlaf (4%); Shane Doan (3%); Marc Savard, Darcy Tucker (2%); Todd Bertuzzi, Mike Richards, Kris Draper (1%); 8 players with one vote.
