Crosby Out With Broken Jaw

[MRandall25]

The Pens are being overly cautious at this point, and rightly so. I have a feeling he won't be out for as long as we think.

He'll be back on Friday. Everyone can calm down.

Or we can trade for the whole Columbus Blue Jackets team.

There is no one on the bluejackets team that is better that our worst player

Lol. Way to show hockey ignorance. I'd take Dubinsky, Anisimov, Foligno, Umberger, Letestu, Prospal, Calvert, Johansen, and Atkinson over just about everyone on our 4th line, plus TK.

[skullman80]

we don't even know if he will need it wired shut. he may not have to.

[SoCalPenguin]

I'm so sad and so angry right now that I'm both shaking and crying. I'm so furious. I'm actually off from work tomorrow...I wish I was working yo be otherwise occupied. Maybe I'll go in anyway and get some stuff done.


This is such ****. I've had it. I feel so bad for him. I'm sick of seeing him get robbed. I can't take that anymore. I just told the girl Sid is hurt I don't want to hear your ********...on any issue...just STFU.

****

Relax. Holy crap. I can't believe someone can get this worked up over something. It sucks but at the end of the day its just a game.

No its not a game. My various sports teams give me more happiness and enjoyment than the vast majority of other things in my life. Its not a game...its a big deal. I am crushed by this.

MEH, our 4th line is doing their job at being fourth liners. We don't really need any of those guys

But to say their entire team is worse than our worst player is just stupid.

Then your priorities are way out of whack.

According to my reading on the web yesterday, a broken jaw means wired shut for 2 weeks then 6 weeks of healing after that. Possibly Sid returns playing with a cage during this 6 week period.

When the jaw is wired shut people tend to lose 10-20% body mass. This could be an issue unless they have a good plan.

I'm concerned that this cup run is in jeopardy, however there is hope that he can return playing with a cage I suppose.

If he has his jaw wires shut they will tube feed him until the wires come out.

[FreeCandy44]

With all the talent and firepower the team has, as well as the defense playing well, im not worried. Regular season means Jack...its all about that magic cup.

[pens_srq]

The other issue with jaw being wired shut is you can't work out. Basically you can't breath through your mouth so air is very limited. That's not good at all if he is indeed going to have to do that.

[thepittman]

Role for role our team is better in every aspect, I don't see your point

Can't workout and you can eat normal food. People lose a lot of weight with a broken jaw usually

No way man, this is super serious

[FreeCandy44]

I wonder if this forces Shero's hand into another trade?

[Easton]

The article mentions he'll have additional dental work done later this week. Would that be possible if his jaw had to be wired shut?

[America]

I still see him winning the Hart regardless of the Art Ross race. Who's to say Kunitz doesn't win it now? Hell Sid could come back with 3 games left and still win it. 10 points is going to happen for Stamkos but it may take him 10 games or more - hopefully.


He's lucky, tying Sid for the Rocket with an EN goal and now this. I guess he can be like Ovechkin and enjoy his personal awards from his couch come playoff time.

[GDR]

He'll be back in time for the next blue jersey game where he'll suffer some other freak injury.

That could be the dental work...

Here's one of the broken jaw links I found yesterday: http://www.sportsmd.com/Articles/tabid/1010/id/24/Default.aspx?n=broken_jaw_%28mandibular_fracture%29

Edit : Added another link

[shmenguin]

Kunitz – Malkin – Neal
Morrow – Sutter – Iginla
Cooke – Vitale – Dupuis
Glass – Adams – Kennedy

Letang - Eaton
Orpik - Despres
Murray - Niskanen

That lineup can win a series

iginla needs to stay with malkin so those 2 can gel. plus, that sutter line isn't going to be much of an offensive threat, even with iginla. it's a bit of a waste to put him there.

i bet it'll be same lineup as last night - just with jeffrey in sutter's spot and sutter in sid's

Patrick Eaves missed two months after he had surgery to repair his broken jaw. Back in time for conference finals, if we get that far?

This is unreal.

[71Aj66ax87]

Anquan Boldins jaw exploded, requiring surgery. I believe he missed on game. Sid will not miss the playoffs

Also Paul Coffey played in a Stanley Cup game with a broken jaw.

[André]

Yeah it's doesn't mean that much compared to the cup but it pisses me off if this costs him the Art Ross. Just so frustrating he can't catch a break.

[Froggy]

didn't paul coffey break his jaw like 20 years ago and miss like a week? don't always expect that every injury is the worst case scenario. sid will be back when he's healthy enough to come back. this team is good enough to get by without him for a little bit.

Other players have come back sooner. it just depends. no one knows at this point.
