Crosby Out With Broken Jaw

[Shakes]

I saw Bylsma adjust his glasses when he gave the update on Sid - this can only mean that Sid will be out for another two weeks.

You're out of your mind.

He didn't come close to adjusting his glasses.

Did he grab the right or left side of his glasses? This is important.

[relantel]

Bylsma wears glasses?

[nexguy66]

Bylsma said "no timetable"....which is concerning.

I thought for sure he'd play the final two games of the regular season. At this point he hasn't even practiced with the team yet. I suppose he could practice next Sunday and Monday and dress for game 1 but that would surprise me at this point.

Given our recent failures in Round 1 I'm not comfortable resting Sid for a few playoff games.

Didn't Geno practice with the team just once before rejoining the team?

All speculation, but he stated Neal would start practicing with the team soon.. and then right after said no time table on Sid

Idk. I want to believe he's ready for playoffs, but if he's not cleared for contact now it not like he'll have magic healing vibes the day of game 1

[marek]

I don't think Sid plays in the first round. Unless somehow they get behind in a series and then he comes back unannounced ala Lemieux and changes EVERYTHING!

[neophool]

Sid plays thursday. book it. E5.

Odd thing- every time anyone uses the word "ala" in a thread I automatically think of Racchi's Rug


He'll be back. Sid's a machine- he won't need much time to knock the rust off and the Pens gain nothing by hurrying him back before the playoffs. He plays game 1. Maybe this Saturday too, but definitely game 1.

I can't get this to work. HTML5 video do dad.

You can pretty much consider Bob McKenzie the gold standard when it comes to verifiable information and being a trusted source.

For those who can't see the video and need to know: Sid hopes to get clearance later this week and will be seeing a doctor after getting more dental work done.

It sounds like he's very close, all depends on the doctor. And the other boys are coming back soon too. Expected on board for Game 1.

[Beveridge]

I still say we need to get this thread to 87 pages first.

You guys and gals know the drill.

Awesome to hear. Also great that Martin and Neal should get a game in

[Gaucho]

Martin and Neal maybe back on Saturday?

McKenzie certainly isn't one to spread rumors just to get attention. Where is he getting this info from and why isn't the Pittsburgh media getting it as well?

[joopen]

Martin and Neal maybe back on Saturday? :shock:

It's the week of the draft. All assets have been diverted to talk about the Stillers

[littlemoonboot]

I was wondering why it takes Bob McKenzie giving out a report for us to hear anything

But if there's anyone I want news from, especially good news, I'm glad it's him.

[littlemoonboot]

Bob!

Right, I forgot.

[pens#1]

Well that's good news about Sid, Martin and Neal

Apologies to Shelly Anderson.

Lol I wear glasses and this is of the utmost importance we know of this.

I must be missing something here... Why are you apologizing to her?

[PensFan1992]

If there is one guy that can plug and go without missing a beat, it's Sid.

I'm not worried unless he isn't playing game 1.

I mean, he'll look amazing because he's Sidney Crosby but he's generally shown to not be exactly the same after breaks (even at start of seasons for example he's usually not at his best)

He had 4 points his 1st game back last year (against the Isles).

Then he had like 4 assists versus the Jets his 2nd time back.

Hence, he'll look amazing. But I think none of us felt he was the same level of "insane' last year than he was before the Winter Classic injury or before the broken jaw this year.

Well, I think it's very tough to compare the concussion to the jaw. With the concussion, Sid went months without working out, then more months without being able to workout at 100% exertion. Although I'm sure he's lost some weight with the broken jaw, it was only two weeks before 87 was out on the ice again. And, remember, Crosby said himself that gaining the weight would not be an issue. I'm sure it'll take him a little while to be back to his "old" self, but I think it's stretch to say this is anything resembling the recovery he went through with the concussion.

Bruce Arthur ‏@bruce_arthur 21m What a player. Applies to both. RT @tsnjamesduthie: 25 days after Crosby gets hurt, Martin St. Louis ties him for 1st in the Art Ross race

Asterik* stamped on this trophy.

Sid; big prize, silver, cup.

[rgj]

Thats a pretty big leap. Thats like 4 weeks difference.

lol you either have a cold or full blown AIDs.

I find absolutely NO HUMOR in your response. I have had friends that have died from AIDS. Their families and loved ones STILL miss them. How dare you.

[SoCalPenguin]

Good to hear he will be back soon but I'm so sad he won't play in the final 2. Since its clear there will be a usurper and impostor Art Ross "winner" I'd rather have it be MSL than the other *******. Least of many evils.

I honestly will start crying if ovie frauds it out.
