I am waiting to see how good the recommendations and treatments of a Neuro-Psychologist and a Chiropractor with a Ph.D. in Neuro-Physiology hold up. The press keeps referring to them as Crosby's doctors or team of doctors. There does not appear to be an MD in the mix.

I agree with what greenfrog says, <but also feel that it comes with significant risk. In any case, I wish him luck and hope that he never, ever sustains another concussion.>

I do not agree < that he's now symptom-free playing at 100%>

The current tests used, such as the iMPACT test, fall far short of determining the ability of his brain to sustain another impact of any level.

I am still eager to see some more thorough research into the ability of the Post Concussed brain to tolerate stresses of any kind.

History shows that athletes who return to play after such a concussion struggle to play at the same intense levels as prior to their injury.

It will be interesting to see how many NHL players get ejected or suspended with the tighter rules regarding hits to the head.
