"I'm in. I've had a good couple days of rest and got it worked on. There's no more pain. That's all I really wanted to get rid of. I can deal with it right now."
"There's no more pain," and "I can deal with it right now," strike me as a bit condescending in a way. If there's no more pain, shouldn't it be easy to deal with? If anything it's probably more a concern of reinjuring than anything else. If Sid's taking time off to let it heal then he'd know better than anyone when he's ready to return.
Good to hear. And on a similarly good note, that same link announces that Chris Kunitz and Alex Goligoski skated this morning as well. Still no set return on those two, but as Dan Bylsma would say, they're progressing.

Maybe not it’s just sore and he isn’t dealing with sharp pain when skating anymore?
I dunno.
I would think if it was bad enough he couldn’t go on Saturday, it wouldn’t make a big recovery in two days time. Obviously Crosby knows his body very well and knows what he can do, I just hope he isn’t pushing it.
You come at the king, you best not miss.
who’ll be benched? I hope Godard, so Letestu can put in a game or two more… after all Carolina is not the scariest team out there
You have to see it for yourself...
Bylsma’s not said yet. Letestu will take the warmups before the decision is made.
I think they could scratch Godard, use Letestu as the 4th line center (using Adams as a winger)….
Or they could scratch Letestu and use what they’ve used in recent games.
Either scenario seems to be in play at this point.

I wouldn’t worry about Sid. Hes been dealing with this groin injury his whole career now. From what he’s said before it always bothers him to an extent. Its never really 100% so
i trust that he knows when to push it and when to sit out. It makes me wonder though if he will ever opt to have the groin repaired completely. I would also like to see Letestu get another game under his belt tonight. He was excellent in the game on Saturday. I dont know how you can sit a guy after a performance like that. Carolina doesn’t have an enforcer, i dont see the need for Goddard tonight, more than any other night. Besides that Rupp will still be in there.
Only Sidney Crosby can look a reporter in the eye and say with a straight face that he had his groin “worked on.” One more example of why Sidney Crosby is better than you.
Talk about groin injuries is one thing I’m still getting used to as sort of a newbie fan. You just don’t hear very much about race car drivers’ groins unless you’re referring to their off-track activities (real or imagined). At any rate, I’m glad he can skate and not have it hurt like hell or get worse tonight.

Yes
Your right he probably is better than me and every other player on this earth unless god laces up his skates.
