When will Sidney Crosby return?

Sidney has been practicing but when will he return? Crosby, who has been out since January 6 due to a concussion, will not even start thinking about returning to his spot with the Penguins until he first can start playing full contact again, and even then he must be cleared by team doctors before he can play. With that said, look how well the Pittsburgh Penguins have done without key players like Crosby and Malkin, when Sidney does return, other teams will really need to worry, especially if he starts where he left off notching 66 points in only 41 games.

Y! Sports’ Greg Wyshynski and Nick Cotsonika debate if the Penguins star will come back this postseason.

Crosby finally scored against Montreal

admin — Tue, 11 May 2010 18:04:27 +0000

Crosby ended his six game goal slump with a first period goal against Halak to tie the game 1-1, but the Pittsburgh Penguins still ended up losing Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinal to the Montreal Canadiens 4-3. The result forces the Penguins and the Canadiens to play a game 7 winner takes all match to qualiify for the Eastern Confernce Final.

“It was nice to see one go in,” Crosby said. “You work hard to get chances, so yeah, for sure, it always feels good to score.”

Crosby must do all he can to make sure they do not lose to the under dog Montreal team in game seven just like his rival Alexander Ovechkin did in the first round!

Crosby & Penguins win Cup

admin — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 03:33:19 +0000

The Pittsburgh Penguins beat the defending champion Detroit Red Wings last night 2 to 1 in game seven of the Playoffs to win the 2009 Stanley Cup. Crosby became the youngest captain in NHL history to hoist the Stanley Cup above his head.

Sidney Crosby exited the game early in the second period, but returned at the start of the third. He injured his left leg after absorbing a clean, but very hard hit from Johan Franzen along the boards in the neutral zone. Crosby had trouble putting weight on his foot as he glided to the bench before limping down the runway to the dressing room.

Marc-Andre Fleury made some memrobale saves in the last few seconds denying Detroit’s final attempts to force overtime. Both Henrik Zetterberg and Nicklas Lidstrom had point-blank shots that Fleury was able to stop with his leg pad and then finally lunging across the crease to get his blocker on a quick wrist shot by Lidstrom. Evgeni Malkin, who finished first in the playoff scoring was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner.
