BREAKING: Big news on Sidney Crosby ahead of game 7

Sidney Crosby was injured midway through game 5 against the Rangers after defenceman Jacob Trouba caught him in the head with a high elbow. Crosby was forced to leave the game and would not return. Crosby also missed game 6, and it was speculated that Crosby had suffered his 4th concussion.

Sidney Crosby has missed over 100 games due to concussions and an entire playoff series one season.

Despite these speculations, it seems like Sidney Crosby will be in the lineup tonight as they look to defeat the Rangers in game 7 to move on to play the Carolina Hurricanes.

I expect Sidney Crosby and Tristan Jarry to play tonight, barring any issues this morning.— Josh Yohe (@JoshYohe_PGH) May 15, 2022

Some fans are not happy with Crosby's return, but that's not due to his playing ability, it is due to his health.

I want to see the Rangers beat the Penguins at full strength, but Sidney Crosby should not be playing.

Cave men are going to say he should be in there, but Crosby missed a lot of time due to concussions.

The fact that he may miss 1 game and come back is reckless by PIT.— Tony (@TheCommishTM) May 15, 2022

I'm sorry but if Sidney Crosby was really concussed just a few days ago and he plays tonight, that's just negligent. I understand how important winning is, but health & safety come first. If he takes one awkward hit, who knows what the outcome could be.— TYLER KASCH (@TheTylerKasch) May 15, 2022
