Sullivan: Crosby wasn't evaluated for concussion after headfirst crash
No alarms appear to have been set off after Sidney Crosby took a hard, headfirst crash into the boards only a week after suffering a concussion.
The incident took place late in the opening period of Game 6, with little reaction from the Pittsburgh Penguins during the intermission, according to head coach Mike Sullivan.
Poll: Should Crosby have been pulled from Game 6 after headfirst crash?
"No" was Sullivan's answer when he was asked whether he was concerned about Crosby and whether Crosby was evaluated for a concussion.

According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, Crosby said the wind got knocked out of him and he was checked out, describing it as "pretty standard stuff."
Crosby saw 19:57 of ice time in the 5-2 loss, recording a record-breaking assist and one shot on goal.
