Penguins Captain Sidney Crosby Breaks Silence on Mike Sullivan's Firing

The Pittsburgh Penguins shocked the NHL world on Monday when the team officially announced they were parting ways with Head Coach Mike Sullivan, who has been behind the bench for the past decade.

Obviously it was a huge move for the organization, and it effects so many people, most of all Sidney Crosby, who won two of his three Stanley Cups under Sullivan, and now, Crosby has opened up on Sullivan being moved on.

It's clear in his message that Sullivan did so much for the career of 87, who will now go down as one of the greatest of all time, with part of that being owed to the veteran Head Coach, who will be missed by the Penguins and their fans.

While Crosby has had several Head Coaches in his NHL career, it can't be denied that he has found his most success under Sullivan, and with Crosby nearing the end of his run, it's safe to say that he probably wasn't expecting a coaching change anytime soon.

Like so many others, Crosby had nothing but good things to say about Sullivan, who was a true leader and a fantastic coach, and while he's expected to land another Head Coach role in the NHL very soon, he'll certainly be missed in Pittsburgh, even after the team struggled in the past few years.
