If you've followed the Penguins since Sidney Crosby was drafted, you'd know that Crosby has suffered multiple injuries, especially concussions, during his time with the Penguins. At one point, however, Crosby's former teammates once wanted him stripped of his captaincy over something out of his control.
Thanks to Sid's right hand man, teammate Evgeni Malkin, however, Crosby was able to stay captain.
According to Josh Yohe from The Athletic , teammates Jordan Staal, Brooks Orpik, Craig Adams and Matt Cooke were among the teammates that wanted a new captain.
