Crosby will miss the next 2 games

[fulcrum]

Hmm headaches and general malaise...

Yeah, and the evidence we grt from the teams is 100 percent accurate.

This does make sense. I get that feeling whenever I get knocked wround now too. It's part of living after a concussion. Two days would be fine, but when you have hockey's version of Christ signed long term, why not be cautious?

Please elaborate.

Please elaborate.

a couple of sources on twitter, so won't elaborate too much. They just say he has bother injury, most likely the knee.

one is Josh Rimer

Been told by 2 sources Crosby may have other injury as well.

I could swear that when Crosby and his doctors held their big press conference over the summer they said that once he returns, he won't be more likely to have another concussion than any other player, ie one is not more concussion-prone after you have had one. Clearly, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Oh perfect. Thanks for the update nonetheless! I think this might actually bode well for the status of his head injury, considering that this information makes it more reasonable to assume that his time off is a result of a variety of things (fatigue, collision with Kunitz, etc) as opposed to just the elbow to the dome and the subsequent headache.

Thanks for the update, rep given!

another update from Josh Rimer:

The Good news with Sidney Crosby is that it's believed his head is fine.

[ween10x]

so is he safe to start this week?

This is what I was trying to support in the first part of my post above ( but see http://www.exra.org/Concussion%20risk-2003.htm, although that study was specifically in football). However if the player still has the first concussion (which is in itself hard to define), getting another concussion injury would be much more dangerous.https://www.savirweb.org/assets/341_ipfebruary2011.pdf

Crosby not practicing and going to address the media today.

I'm at work and cannot get updates on the press release if someone could update this thread in real time to let us know what it's about I'd be very appreciative.
