Very glad to hear this

I’ve been trying not to ride the emotional Crosby news seesaw, but I can’t help myself.

Awesome news to hear!

Seriously, when Jordan Staal goes down with any injury, I don’t even think twice. You can be assured he will be back when he is supposed to. The kid is a horse.

Crosby, you sense is pretty much okay but like he said, they’re taking it very slow for extra safety. There isn’t too much pandamonium like last time he went down. Everyone knows what to expect and I think this will smooth his recovery better.

now they have video of it

and i have to say, he looks like he’s exerting quite a bit of energy out there and that has to be good news. Looks good to me, can’t wait to have him back for the playoff run
