Word on the street now is that he's not going to suit up on Sunday, and is now targeting Thursday for his return. I don't blame him for not wanting to go up against the likes of Lucic and Chara during his first game back! |

From today's G&M newspaper: "So why chance it? Why not cancel the season entirely, wait longer and come back in the fall, if it makes sense, when games are less physical and important and when Sidney Crosby would be in exactly the same game-shape as everyone else."

I read today that Crosby will play in Thursday's game against the Rangers. I can't believe he is returning so soon. The Penguins have been doing well without him in the lineup.

He seems to be able to handle a full tempo practice and body contact in practice. Of course both are different from real game situations where the opponent is looking to deliver a big hit. I'd imagine that Crosby will be protected to an extent in his return. I wouldn't expect him to log more than 18 minutes of ice time and wouldn't be surprised if he was thrown on a line with at least one of the team's enforcers to protect him out there.

Felt symptom free for two days in late January and late February. Decided to exercise (skating in January, light cycling in February) and symptoms returned with a bang. March 15 2012: Medically cleared to return to action! Thank you all for your kind words and support. For those still suffering, know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Stay positive and healthy . |

I don't see him getting the Gretzky treatment, probably hasn't been around long enough or established that sort of reputation yet. |

Crosby played tonight and scored an assist. No reports of any scary impacts or incidents. A good day for Sid the Kid. One game at a time.

Nope, no Gretz treatment. it's a diff game now. He also doesn't have a Dave Semenko or Marty McSorley for protection either. Players are bigger, equip is harder and well, it's just different. Too many jerks with no respect for their opponent. Heck! No respect for anyone. It's sad. But overall, I do believe that most of the players do have respect and hopefully they can teach it to those few hacks. Now, to start with the kids and teach them respect along with the beauty of the game, hard physical play but not maniac play. Ahhhhh just my two cents. So happy to see such an amazing player back and looking pretty good! And look how it helps take the defensive focus off of other talents like Malkin! Go Crosby Go! Keep Well!
