The Pittsburgh Penguins reportedly had the option to play Sidney Crosby in Game 6 when the team was up 3-2 over the New York Rangers, but according to The Athletic's Rob Rossi, they said no.
"He had passed a concussion test and wanted to play in Game 6 but was told no by the general manager," Rossi said during an interview with 93.7 The Fan.
Rossi continues to say that the decision wasn't strictly Rob Hextall, but it did come from the general manager and those in the front office.
It was probably a wise investment into Sid's long-term health after coming back to early from previous concussions.
