Sidney Crosby Skates (With Video and Comments)

From the Pens main site:
Penguins captain Sidney Crosby was back on the ice for the first time since missing 29 games with a concussion.
Crosby skated on the ice for about 15 minutes in full gear early in the morning at CONSOL Energy Center. He stick handled around some cones and shot a few pucks.
Everyone has been frustrated by the lack of progress and reports in Sidney Crosby's concussion (and probably no one more than Sid himself). Various rumors have been floating around, none of them having much truth.
The fact is, with concussions, one never knows. But that Crosby was able to get back on the ice has to be a tangible sign of his recovery.
Will he be back soon? Who knows. He took a little twirl on the ice today, it's not like Crosby's going to be back in the lineup tomorrow night or anything.
But, for now, let's be happy with what it is and not try to read too much or too little into it. Sidney Crosby skated today, for the first time in a long while. That's enough to give any hockey fan a little sunshine on this Monday.\
UPDATE: Check out the Pens site for a short video...And more to come as Crosby's expected to talk to the media at 11:00 AM.
UPDATE 2: From Sid himself:
“I may not feel great this afternoon and not be able to skate tomorrow,” Crosby said. “The only reason I was able to skate today is because I’ve had some good days here, done a little bit of exercise and got through that. That doesn’t mean there are any guarantees. It’s just a progression.
“I’ve been symptom free the last few days. That doesn’t mean that when I exert myself that I won’t have symptoms. That could always happen. That’s pretty normal when you have that. It’s a process and we’ll see how things go.”

Not trying to read too much into it...
But can anybody tell who is walking in front of him on the way out? I would bet he went straight in after the skate to speak with the Doc, but I am curious who that was with him.
by LightningCoach on Mar 14, 2011 10:51 AM EDT reply actions
Crosby’s going to talk to the media in a few minutes here at 11….Probably won’t learn a whole lot, but any info straight from the source should be welcomed.
(Does that mean I admitted to be excited to hear a cliche Crosby interview?)

I think we all are.
I agree with what you posted, certainly don’t want to read too much into this but crap is it good to see 87 on the ice. Be cool to see what he says at the scrum.

If there was something to read into it, AKA he wasn’t feeling well, I imagine the Penguins website wouldn’t be all “OMG CROSBY SKATED!!!!”.
by illbottleya on Mar 14, 2011 11:06 AM EDT up reply actions
See, that's kind of what I was thinking.
I am not sure what the driving force is behind this. Like hooks said, Sid will speak to the media so I am sure we’ll find something out then. Maybe not too much, but a little wouldn’t be bad either.
by LightningCoach on Mar 14, 2011 11:09 AM EDT up reply actions
The fact that he was able to take the next step to get back on the ice suggests that the symptoms have lessened a lot lately (if not been absent for 7 days) which is probably why the Pens site is excited.
That, and it generates clicks.

That May have been Tangradi, i think he is skating as well.

Tangradi was in full pads as well. The guy in front of him was in warumups.
Still, could have been him. Wasn’t sure if it was a strength coach or what.

get your hopes up, man
WAY UP. This reminds me of how I felt when MJ said “I’m Back” This is completely different, but all the same to me.
I would, but I’m definitely cautiously optimistic, as blackjack referenced above. Had Crosby not already tried to get back into a routine and forced to wait longer, I probably would think he’d be back on the ice by the end of the week now. But frankly I’d rather he aim for game one of the playoffs at this point rather than return at any point during the season. The Pens are going to the playoffs, that’s a given. Let him make the most of his healthy time to get in shape.

100% agree
about waiting for the last game or the playoffs. The point is that he’s closer to returning than anyone knew. And this actually gives us some Cup aspirations.
I think there’s a fine line here.
If he’s good to go 3 weeks from now do you let him play a few regular season games and allow him to get his timing back? Or do you be on the really safe side and be 120% certain that he’s ready and then throw him right into the thick of the playoff push?

Looking at the schedule, our last 4 games(about 3 weeks away) are against the Panthers, Devils, Islanders and Thrashers. I wouldn’t mind seeing him play in a few of those(maybe not against the Isle in case they try to goon it up again). Especially if any or all of those teams are already eliminated by then. Should be low risk games in that case.
To an extent, I agree. Time is no big deal, what matters of course is that the symptoms have gone away (and won’t come back). If anything, I’m worried that this could trigger a setback and have headaches return/intensify. If Crosby clears this hurdle, it’s a good sign.
But shoot, he could rehab/get in shape for 3 more weeks and return for the final 3 reg season games to get back in game shape and that would be fine. If the medical people allow it, that is.
Either way, any Crosby is a bonus, and at this point of course it has to be a healthy (and not vulnerable) player too.

Wonder how long it will take them to post it.

Last three games of the season:
Devils
Thrashers
Islanders
I’m sure he will be needed against the Devils, especially if NJ is still alive in the playoff hunt at the time. But if I had to pick a time for him to come back from an injury like this, I’m not slating him on the roster in a game against the Islanders. Sure, things boiled over the last time between the two teams and penalties/fines were handed out accordingly, but if the Pens are a lock for the playoffs and the Isles are not, I’d rather he sit that one out.

Hey, in the past we’ve seen the Pens lock up a position in the playoffs and give guys off the last game or two of the reg. season. In the past I actually remember Sid coming back from his ankle injury and, if memory serves, not playing the final regular season game.
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com, twitter and now on the official Pensburgh Facebook page
Was that the year the Pens played Philthy last game of the reg season and then were spanked by Ottawa in Round 1?
Crosby played well, but the ankle was still balky—he wasn’t at 100%
No that was the year where we played Philly the last game of the season and then spanked the Eastern conference all the way to the Stanley Cup Final (where things didn’t go too well…)

I can still hear the Flyers fans yelling that at us on the way to our car. I explained to them that we had a little unfinished business with Ottawa that had to be taken care of first, but we’d be coming for them next (you know, after the Rangers).

I also hope Bylsma keeps him duct-taped down against the Islanders. Not only have they been dirty as hell, but there’s absolutely no discouragement of that kind of behavior from the organization. If anything, they’ve encouraged it.

Exactly. If Sid skates tomorrow, and eventually with some of his teammates (like Tangradi and Comrie), then that’s only when I’ll allow my hopes to get up a little.

Thanks for thinking of me. Just over an hour ago…
My dreaded alarm goes off =(. I hit snooze and see that I have a text from the Pens text alert number. The thoughts that go through my mind in the 2 seconds before I read the text are as follows:
-The Pens wouldn’t send everyone a text early in the morning unless it was big news.
-Someone died?
-gasp There might be news on SIDDDDD
-Okay, either this means he’s packing it in for the season.
-OR he’s skating!
I looked at the text and BANG “Breaking News: Sidney Crosby skated for the first time since suffering concussion.”

Without going through everyone else’s thoughts, here’s my take:
The news of Crosby skating is awesome, but in the grand scheme of things, as it relates to recovery, it doesn’t mean a whole lot. Sid has to stay symptom free or he’s back to square one. So, as much as I’d like to say him skating means he’s coming back, the only thing that Sid’s skating means is that he is a little more likely to come back. I’m not going to get too excited yet. I think the real news will be if he skates tomorrow as well. If he doesn’t, well, then today didn’t mean a whole lot because he couldn’t stay symptom free.
My day = made, nonetheless.

Allie you are so incredibly realistic and the voice of reason, trying to keep all of us from going completely nutters over this BUT, don’t you think it a bit odd that his VERY FIRST skate he’s in full gear and there are cameras around???? I feel he has skated and has gone symptom free and is now starting conditioning, call me totally crazy, I don’t mind. He knows the impact this will have out there so I have to think the cameras wouldn’t be there unless he was sure. Just my opinion. Still…I’m SUPER excited!!!

I'm pretty sure this is just an opinion,
so take it for what it’s worth. No one can possibly know for sure if Sid is coming back.
Been asked this a lot, for what it’s worth, #Pens would not show Crosby skating unless there was a very very good chance of him coming back

skating in full pads
they usually just skate in sweats if its the first time back right? could it be he has skated before this?
I wondered about that myself. There were lots of road games, lots of days with the cameras off the ice…
And if that’s the case, Crosby’s a better actor than I thought, and he can play himself in what I think will be the inevitable biopic.

I’m pretty sure that he has, but don’t look too much into the full gear thing. With the way I’ve heard his 15 minutes on ice described and the fact that no one else was on the ice with him, he could’ve skated in sweat pants too. In fact, I wouldn’t put it past Sid to have put on the pads just because he wanted to remember what it felt like. Sid is a dork like that.

to add
No one knew that guys like Asham, Tangradi or Comrie were skating until the Pens released it, and if they hadnt released this stuff today, i dont think people would have known.
There was a pic of him skating in track gear right before the NHL came back from the AS break. I don’t think that went very well because, trust me, if Sid were to skate while the Pens weren’t on break, we would know about it.

Cutiously optimistic.
Lets face it: Sid is going to be way out of shape, for skating, if he hasn’t been able to be on the ice for the entire time of his recovery. It’ll take him a good month to get fit enough to skate in a game, and even then, he’d only have limited ice time. So, if he can keep skating from now on, he might be able to come back in the playoffs, which would be fantastic, but still might not be enough to carry us through BUT there is hope. I just don’t want to see him try to get back this season and and take another hit to the head, ala Lindros.
If you’re talking about what a normal human’s understanding of “in shape” is then it won’t take him long at all. But, we’re talking about Sid here. This guy’s version of “in shape” is other worldly.

R.I.P. Rick Martin
He died this past weekend at age 59. He was a very good left winger who starred on the French-Connection line of the Sabres though the 70’s He scored at 35 goals in his first 6 seasons and had at least 30 in 8 of his first 9 , while topping 50 twice with 52 goals in back to back seasons (73-4 & 74-5). He was a 1st Team All-Star twice and a Second Team All-Star twice, while playing in 7 All-Star Games.

“Arron Asham returned to practice today. It was his first time with the team and he will not be traveling with us tomorrow, given the fact that it’s one day. But he will return to practice with us next week.
“Comrie, Orpik and Tangradi all skated off the ice today. And Nick Johnson will be joining them tomorrow. It will be his first time on the ice, it is a progression for him.
“Kris Letang went to a scheduled appointment to be evaluated by a doctor just as a precautionary (action) from the hit he received last night.
“And I think you know Sidney Crosby skated today. He has been symptom free for some time now. He has been exercising off the ice, and this was the next step in his progression, getting on the ice. In no way, shape or form is there any time table at this point in time. This is just the next step for him, to get on the ice and to be able to exercise.”

Great News
This is great news not just for hockey but for Sid personally. I am a hockey fan and the Pens are the only team for me, though I have a few others I root for, it is Pens first and foremost. All I want is Sid to be healthy and live a long and symptom free life. I want him to play because he is simply the best at the present time and has only gotten better each and every year as a hockey player, but his health is more important than winning hockey games period. God speed Sid I hope you will be playing again soon but get healthy first no rush.

a similar situation w/ a positive outcome:
Andy McDonald has nine goals and 22 points in 20 games since returning from a concussion. McDonald was out for two months due to the injury, but he’s been nearly a point-per-game player when healthy this season. McDonald is giving us plenty of reasons to be optimistic about his chances of finally bouncing back in 2011-12 after a few disappointing seasons.

McDonald’s career ppg is about 0.7 – so he raised his average .3 ppg game since his comeback. Sid was at 1.6 when he went down so I’m expecting about 2 points a game from The Captain when he returns. ;)

Cassie Campbell mentioned a “shooting gallery” that he practiced at in a tweet this weekend. So if he’s been doing stuff like that, his shots ought to be OK.

I kind of knew something was up last week too. Remember when I wondered why no one was making a big deal out of Sid being cleared for light workout and asked if this was something new or if he had been doing this all along. I think last week may have been the first time when he tried some lightworks and he didn’t feel bad afterwards. So now he can progress to the next step, which is getting on his skates.
But I had a feeling something was up last week. Not to say I told you so, but….nevermind.:)

Always trust your gut
In November, I had a feeling Shero would do something big at the deadline:
I just have this feeling….this feeling…that the Pens will do something big before the trade deadline this year. Shero magic.
James Neal came along.
At the beginning of the game thread on Jan 5th, 2011, I said I was nervous:
I’m really excited/nervous for this game.
Idk if that’s good or bad. Usually, it’s not good.
Sidney Crosby’s concussion came along…
Three days ago I had another feeling:
I don’t know about y’all, but I have this feeling that Sid is really progressing along. I hope I’m right.
Sidney Crosby’s recovery came along…

Honestly, I was excited to see how this season would pan out for Crosby before he got hurt. He was setting a ridiculous pace. I admire any player that plays with the heart and intensity that Crosby has. A lot of people say he is a whiner, and that may be true. But no one can deny that the guy is unbelievably talented. So let me reiterate: Congrats. Hope he gets back to playing games soon.

After a while of thought, I’m convinced: Today was not the first time Sid has skated. The Pens wouldn’t have made the fact that Sid skated public if they didn’t know how Sid would react—if he were to publicly skate and suffer a setback, it’d break a lot of fans hearts. Therefore, I’m convinced that Sid has skated a few other times before he skated today.

Yeah, but if it was his first skate and he had a bad reaction they just wouldn’t release the video and not say anything.

Oh I get ya’, so they would have to wait at least 24 hours to really make sure he’s okay.
And you don’t think they would go public right after the first time he skated because if there’s a set back later on in the evening it might be bad PR? So they don’t say anything after the first skate and wait to go public after the next or maybe even his third time on the ice?

I think he’s confused me with a female (Lindas1st) because I was the one who said that about you “most knowledgable of the female hockey fans” and maybe he also confused the talk about the Bradley Cooper picture a few weeks ago. that’s about when he first joined.

I mean could you imagine how devastating the fans would be if Sid suffered a setback after the Pens were so excited to announce that he had skated? I think he’s skated with no symptoms for at least two sessions.
I know that he skated at the end of March (there was a pic of it) and that it didn’t go well, so the Pens didn’t say much about it.
Why do you think Sid said he “didn’t know” how many days he’s been symptom free? I love you Sid, but who are you trying to fool here? You know how many days you’ve been symptom free, but didn’t want to say because you’ve been symptom free and doing activity for a while. The Pens just didn’t want people to know.

"didn’t know" how many days he’s been symptom free?
Yeah, I thought that was a bit curious, but just left it as- he didn’t want to say anything that would conflict with the team/doctors.
BTW, I’m with you now and hope you’re right because that means he’s actually further along than I thought.
I am "The STIG"!
Well, if this is in fact true, then he’s really only a few days farther along than the Pens want us to think.

That’s just the way the replies work, mummabear. If you hit the “up” button on your comment, you’ll see it is showing up under Allie’s comment. It’s just that a whole other thread started up above after someone else replied to her, so your reply shows up way down here. I hope that made sense.

BTW, I didn’t like this part of Molinari’s report:
The individual who provided the update on his post-workout condition, though, said there is no reason at this point to plan on Crosby returning during the regular season, although that certainly has not been ruled out.

This.
After light skating, he’s got to start working out with Kadar (Pens strength and conditioning coach), that probably will be the most tedious step because it’s the biggest jump in terms of physical activity. After that, he’ll be able to join practice. Since this whole process will take weeks, it’s very possible that Sid could suffer a symptom at any time and be back to square one again. Since the playoffs are only 4 weeks away, there isn’t much leeway for a setback.

L1, we were talking about knowledgable female hockey fans, and also about poprocks being female. I found that and the Bradley part in the "Pens Sign Kovalev thread. Unfortunately, the conversation I had with mummabear or pop rocks (i think) was probably in the game thread against the hurricanes on the 25th of February. I can’t find a way to access that in the archives. If someone knows a way, please tell me how so I can put this “Allie picture” thing to rest. Talk about a tsunami! I took it all in good fun, and again, if I offended either of you, I apologize.

that original comment was intended as a compliment...
…because we were talking about knowledgable female hockey fans (not the L1 conversation during the “Pens sign Kovalev” thread"). I was also told that Allie was beautiful by someone who said they saw her picture on a previous thread (yes, before I joined Pensburgh) Cheap attempt at crude humor at best. Again, apologies. The conversation last night turned into trying to find out who posted a picture of Allie, if indeed it did happen. I am going to investigate now before the game. God I hoe that clears that part up. bbs

I must be losing my touch because I’m only now reading L1’s comment “Just trying to get your position straight Allie, that’s all.” in that way.
I thought you were making a joke about allie being wishy washy, which would have to have been a joke since she is anything but. Now I’m finally on board and I acknowledge the genius of your reply.
