If there is one team in professional sports that you think would know better than to rush a superstar back from a concussion too soon, it would be the Pittsburgh Penguins. Absolutely gobstoppingly stupid.

Good point. At times you'd think the medical staff was made up of veterinarians.

Maybe they're just busy. Working on the Pens, Coyotes and Panthers. Lotta travel involved. Then there's the Bruins, Blackhawks, Red Wings, Ducks and Sharks. I'm a little more sympathetic to the staff now. All those treats they gotta carry around. Tiring.

It is a shoulder injury. Had nothing to do with his concusion. So, it isn't an issue of "being rushed."

Remember this: "Sidney Crosby will return next game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. He is absolutely fine after getting ventricles dislodged in his brain by David Steckel."

It was Bylsma who said it was unrealted to the concussion. I would hope he would tell the truth and not lead everyone to believe otherwise, just to give false hope.

At this point, i'm not sure how any of ya trust this organization anymore.
If it is just a harmless shoulder injury, couldn't he have at least have suffered it in the first period before he proceeded to torch poor Jimmy Reimer?

I'd answer this but I don't believe it's really a question. :-)
Canuck eh?

yes, I also had a good laugh at that one. Given that he comes from the land of broken dreams and bitter tears only makes it funnier.
