The speculation if they kept the reason he was healthy scratched secret would be worse.

I give my respect to everyone involved at this point. BT for holding a superstar accountable. you can't tell me if Crosby or Malkin did the same thing that they wouldn't be playing and it wouldn't have been kept quiet.

And OVI, a day ago the team listed him as missing the game for personal reasons and he came out and decided to be honest and admit that it was his fault and his mistake. It takes a real leader to do that.
