Take it for what it is, but there are reports that Crosby has had a set back and is experiencing concussion-like symptoms. If this is true it is not looking good. I really hate to see any player having these issues 8 months after his last head injury.
Its really a shame. I hope it doesn't turn out to be another Pat LaFontaine or Eric Lindros situation.

The penguins aren't supporting those reports.

Looks like it can go either way.

It would be a hellofa boost to know a guy of his caliber is coming off the bench late in the year for your team.
Problem we have here is, every day you get a different story, today, he's doing great, the article from yesterday said otherwise ....
Next week a different doctor will see him and say something else.
This all depends on the particular person writing the article, he can write good or bad and find clippings to support his point either way.
That's the nature of concussions...you have good days and bad days, and you wait until the bad days go away completely. And since concussion study is still in it's infancy, concussion doctors will give different opinions all the time.
The only thing that's going to matter is if Crosby is able to take the ice during training camp, and how he feels when he does.
While it would hurt my team, I hope he comes back strong. The NHL needs a healthy Crosby.

And finally Dish Network subs are not waiting until 15 mins before the season starts to see if Dish gets off their butts and signs a deal with the NHL...Funny that you just posted this as I just posted elsewhere that I was happy that Hockey season was just around the corner.
Well, the Mets are done and the Giants are going to win 7 games ......so LET'S GO DEVILS!!!!!!Nice to see the return of Hockey...although it's hard to think about hockey in August and in the middle of a pennant chase. Additionally, as much as I love hockey I'm not in 100% hockey mode until the regular college season concludes (mid November) and there's snow on the ground.
