When was crosby concussion

There is no universal diagnosis or a prescribed road to recovery. Each case is different. Neilank Jha. From a fan perspective, from a Penguins' perspective, if they win [this playoff round] it's very possible he could be back for the Eastern Conference finals. Jha says in the coming days it will be important for Crosby and the Penguins' medical staff to monitor the star's concussion symptoms.

I don't think so, because he would be putting himself at a high level of risk," Jha says. Charles Tator, the project director of the Canadian Sports Concussion Project for the Krembil Neuroscience Centre at Toronto Western Hospital, says the number of initial concussion symptoms a player has is tied to how long it can take to recover.

Tator says it's imperative Crosby allows full recovery from any concussion symptoms or he could be risking long-term damage.

For more than a year, it was fair to wonder if Crosby would still be playing in , let alone at the level that has catapulted him from superstar to among the greatest players in history.

The Penguins were at the center of the hockey universe 10 years ago on this night. The Winter Classic had a different feel back then. It was presumed that their hiccup against the Canadiens in the second round of the playoffs was a mere fluke, a belief reinforced by the way they began the season. It took one hit from Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman to end his season. He was right. For a time. Crosby returned on Nov. Crosby came back on March 12 and Pittsburgh called it a neck injury.

Maybe it was; the Penguins captain racked up 25 points in the final 14 games of the season and eight points in six playoff games. Today is no different. Crosby , at years-old, entering the true prime of his professional athletic career, was on a a game point streak, beginning on November 5, against the Anaheim Ducks and going through December 28, against the Thrashers.

During this streak, he racked up 26 goals and 24 assists for 50 points, with two hat-tricks thrown in there for good measure. With the two best Penguins on the shelf for the foreseeable future, the Penguins trudged on into the postseason, losing to the Tampa Bay Lightning in seven games after going up in the first-round series.

Had Crosby and Malkin been fully healthy for the campaign, I believe they do away with the Lightning rather easily in round one.

Round two would have seen the Penguins go up against the one-seeded Washington Capitals.
