Penguins, Crosby on Tuesday's White House visit: ‘It's not about politics'

It's the elephant in the room and, on Tuesday, the Penguins will be in a room with President Donald Trump.
Sidney Crosby and his teammates were pummeled with questions about their Washington visit on Monday, 24 hours before the Stanley Cup champions will honor the tradition of going to the White House.
“I don't know what to expect, to be honest,” Crosby said.
The Penguins' decision to accept Trump's invitation has become controversial. Crosby made it clear that politics were not involved in the Penguins' decision.
“From my side of things, there's absolutely no politics involved,” Crosby said.
