Rip should go for sure and if the new GM and coach determine that the trainers aren't treating the players correctly then they should go too. There's been rumblings abkut the training staff the last few years hasn't there?
Well the refs are trying, i'll give em that.
Also, based on Sullivans reaction amd excessive lashing of the refs before the period i'm guessing sid will be out a while.
Sid wasn't standing straight up he was falling into Niskanen. Niskanen reacted by putting his stick up. Would it have been better for Niskanen to let Crosby take out his knee instead?
Would anyone let someone barrel into them without protecting themselves? NO
