PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) - Penguins Captain Sidney Crosby has released a statement following the death of George Floyd while in Minneapolis Police custody last week.
On Wednesday, Crosby released the following statement through the Penguins.
NHL on NBC analyst Pierre McGuire told the PM Team earlier this week that it's not unusual that Crosby wouldn't have spoken out yet because it is very, very rare for hockey players to step outside of the arena and speak on issues like this. That being said, Pierre says he believes that when Sidney Crosby talks, people listen, so it would be impactful.
