Pittsburgh Penguins star Sydney Crosby addressed the media today informing them that he is on a path to a full recovery after a concussions sidelined him last season. However Crosby also mentioned that doctors haven’t yet cleared him to resume full practices with his team only saying that there is no timetable for his return and that he believes he will be back at some point this upcoming season.
It’s a difficult thing to go though and trust me I’d love to have answers myself sometimes when I was going through that but it’s not as easy as that,” said Crosby.
This has to be somewhat concerning for Penguins fans and the NHL in general considering the history of players in the NHL that have had to cut their careers short due to concussions.
Crosby suffered a concussion during the Winter Classic against the Washington Capitals on New Year’s Day. He returned four days later but left the January 5 game against the Tampa Bay Lightning after being hit into the boards. Crosby sat out the remainder of the season.
