    Crosby is continuing workouts but is definitely not 100% yet. There has not been much about his recovery process but this does not look good. We will reserve judgment until we receive an official Penguins press report. For now, take this report with a grain of salt.

    just to reconfirm...

    Not good if it's true. No word from the Pens yet.

    You're all giving the same story from the same random XM radio personality. Take it with a big grain of salt.

    Just another story that will be exaggerated and hyped up in the summer.

    S**t!!! If Crosby can't play, the NBA will definitely have to have a lockout. I hope for Sid's sake and the NHL's that he can play injury free next season.

    Isn't Josh Rimer, Alex Ovechkins press agent?

    I cant believe anything that Eklund says. If it ends up on his site, it probably is untrue.

    The occasional recurrence of concussion symptoms has not forced Penguins superstar center Sidney Crosby to "shut down" his offseason training, general manager Ray Shero said late Sunday.

    "There are going to be some symptoms with this injury, but nothing where he's had to shut it down or anything," Shero said, noting that he was in contact with Crosby over the weekend. "He's pushed himself, which is good."

    In other words, nothing has changed, nor should we be "praying for him" like that idiot Eklund suggested.

    Here's the rest of the Shero quotation you provided above Ev:

    "There are going to be some symptoms with this injury, but nothing where he's had to shut it down or anything. The main thing with him, or any player, is that he's not going to be pushed, prodded until he's 100 percent ready. My concern isn't with Sept. 16, Oct. 6 or whenever; it's making sure he's comfortable when he returns to play, end of story. I'm about the bigger picture with this thing."

    Some more context from Rossi:

    "One thing I won't do is discredit Josh Rimer's reporting, though I'm hesitant to call his Twitter post a report. I believe 100 percent that he was told by three sources that Crosby won't be ready for the opener. That doesn't mean those sources are right or wrong, but in this business, three sources that a reporter deems credible is enough to go with information. I spoke with Josh about his post, and he stands by it, as would any journalist in his situation.

    Some context: There is a small group of people inside the hockey community talking – not on the record, which to me makes their words far less credible, though certainly worth hearing – about Crosby not being as far along on his recovery as he would like to be at this point. All I can say is this: None of those people are from the so-called “Camp Crosby†to which I often refer when writing about his inner circle. Had I heard from "Camp Crosby" anything that was as strong as what Josh heard from his sources, I would have written it -- and I will write it IF I hear that kind of information. I haven't."

    As I said when I first posted the scuttlebutt - there's nothing tangible here yet. But, as everyone is interested in hearing any news on Crosby, information from a credible source (not Eklund in this case), is worth sharing.
    Setting up the play.

    Definitely not as bad sounding as it was made out to be yesterday. Shouldn't be surprised though, as August is a slow month and sites need traffic. If news doesn't happen, why not create it?

    Jeff 'Eklund' Angus???

    Seriously though, I agree with you Angus, I think this time of year you get a lot of sports writers making mountains out of molehills to generate some page views
