The Pittsburgh Penguins dropped game five to the New York Rangers by a score of 5-3 but still lead 3-2, going back home for game six. Unfortunately, there's a chance they could be without their top player in the crucial game.
Of course, Crosby has had a terrible history of concussions, so this is not a good thing to see. Not just for Penguins fans but for any hockey fan, Sid is still one of the best in the game and easily the most polarizing figure in the NHL in the past 15 years.
It's hard to say if Trouba had intent, and it's a huge accusation to put on an opposing player. If you watch the play closely, Trouba goes to poke check the puck, and his stick catches Crosby's left skate, making the Penguins forward go lower right before the hit. At the same time, the poke jams Trouba's elbow, forcing it upwards into Crosby's face.
