Crosby is a teammate of Matt Cooke. I personally hope someone “rings his bell” a bit more when he’s back playing again. If the rest of the league has to put up with Cooke’s blind-side elbows to the head, then the Penguins, especially Crosby, should get the same treatment in return.

The NHL does not need another generational lost to concussions, like Lindros. People forget Lindros was only 23 when the injuries started because he, like Crosby, had 5 years in the league. The Pens are right to sit him out, until next year if need be. I think Crosby will recover much better than Lindros because in the 90s we called it “getting your bell rung” and players were rushed back. I just hope Crosby comes back as healthy as ever.
