The Unthinkable: Pittsburgh Penguins Captain Sidney Crosby Has Requested A Trade 09/13/25 Sell the team to whomever you want, we don’t care. Put whoever you want in goal on September 27th when the Pens play meaningless hockey against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Yeah, even Marc-André Fleury. For the record, we’ve done the Farewell-to-Flower thing at PPG Paints Arena THREE times already. *cough-cough* .. *money-grab* .. *cough-cough…* None of that matters anymore, because… Sidney Crosby, via his longtime agent, Pat Brisson has for all intents and purposes made it known that he would like to be traded; essentially he’s requested to play NHL hockey for a team other than the Penguins. This is a developing story and we, Jordan DeFigio and Jeff Taylor found out about it AS we were recording this episode. So YES, Flyers fans, Devils fans, Rangers fans, etc: This Bud’s For You. And LEAFS fans? Yinz have REALLY earned this one. Drink it up, you know it’s literally all you have.
