Big controversy in Pittsburgh involving Sidney Crosby and GM Ron Hextall

It was a tough end of the season for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

They had a 3-1 series lead against the New York Rangers but finally lost in 7 games. Today, the players and staff had their exit meetings, and one thing stood out.

Yesterday, Rob Rossi, a Penguins' beat journalist for The Athletic, threw an absolute bomb by saying that Sidney Crosby was cleared to play Game 6 but GM Ron Hextall forbid his captain to play.




However, both Sidney Crosby and head coach Mike Sullivan said that it wasn't true and that No. 87 was cleared to play only before Game 7.
