Bob Errey of FSN Pittsburgh just reported Sid's out 4 weeks.....hopefully a better prognosis in the morning
Malkin in the AllStar
All Star players dropping like flies.
It's the dreaded SI for Kids cover jinx!
vomit
beginning to sound more like an All Star jinx.
Crosby's own fault. He was looking around when he was sliding towards the wall. Not even that high of speed. Have he braced himself nothing would have happened.
Braced himself with his ankles, maybe?
Sprains happen even when a person steps off a curb. It wasn't anybody's fault.
Doc Anonymous is right. Crosby should have been smart enough to spin and go head-first into the boards.

It might help to look at what you're going to hit and when. Just look at what Sidney does just before he hits the wall?
Maybe looking for a ref at that point was the best choice, I dunno.
Docs usually come into picture after the injury.
