Yesterday, the Penguins issued a statement saying that Sidney Crosby “wasn’t feeling 100 percent” and would skip the next two games for precautionary reasons…
“Sidney took a hard hit during our game against Boston Monday night and wasn’t feeling 100 percent,” Penguins general manager Ray Shero said in the statement. “He saw Dr. Mickey Collins of UPMC today and took an ImPACT (neurocognitive) test, which showed no problems. However, we all think it’s best that he sits out the next two games as a precaution.”
…first off, as much as I hate Crosby it would be a huge blow to the sport of hockey if he has another major setback, so let’s all hope and pray he’s ok.
…if Crosby can sit out almost a year and still not be able to take a hard hit without reoccurring symptoms, how are we ever going to be fully comfortable when Staal finally returns. And while we don’t know the severity of Sauer’s concussion, do we now need to be concerned that he will be out a prolonged amount of time as well. Very scary stuff.
