Pittsburgh Penguins star player Sidney Crosby appealed to National Hockey League (NHL) officials and players about their safety ahead of next season.
Speaking to Sportsnet’s “32 Thoughts,” Crosby emphasized that the suspensions imposed were one of the things that most concerned him personally and all other skaters on the Bettman circuit.

“It’s always the case that you see a highlight or a clip and you don’t know the extent of a suspension, you don’t know whether there will be a suspension or not. That’s what I feel,” the Penguins captain said.
However, the veteran admitted that it was a difficult task to impose bans, but he would like to see more consistency.
“I know it’s not an easy task for anyone, but I still feel like there’s a gray area,” he added. I don’t think anyone will ever agree on the length or intentions of a player, that’s always debatable. But I think we can get closer to the exact goal and perhaps what the penalty will be.”
Last season, Crosby scored 93 points, including 33 goals in 82 games. He even reached the plateau of 1,500 career points.
