So is there still time for Sidney Crosby to rally in the Hart Trophy race?
In what was understandably front page news on the Pittsburgh Penguins website this morning, the injured captain skated at CONSOL Energy Center in full gear for the first time since he was diagnosed with a concussion and shut down on Jan. 6. Since then, his injury ignited a hockey-wide debate about player safety and some preposterous scuttlebutt about his future.
Oh, and the Penguins went 14-10-5 without him (and Evgeni Malkin since Feb. 4) to remain three points off the Eastern Conference lead of the Philadelphia Flyers.
Sid had 66 points (32 goals, 34 assists) in 41 games before his injury. (Revisit the two hits that concussed him and his comments about his diagnosis here.)
Crosby skated for about 15 minutes according to the Penguins, stick-handling around cones and shooting the puck. His return to the rink would indicate (a) he's been symptom free long enough to allow it and (b) that the Penguins feel comfortable enough in his health to publicize it.
Crosby's speaking with the media at around 11 a.m.; we'll have more later. Thanks to reader Mike Mancini for the tip.
