No Update on Sidney Crosby Injury

The season-opener is just days away and there hasn’t been any real news about the groin injury Pittsburgh Penguins captain, Sidney Crosby, suffered during a pre-season game.  After playing less than two minutes, Crosby was forced to watch from the sidelines.

He really downplayed the seriousness of the injury but then he has been skipping practice.  Coach Dan Bylsma doesn’t feel like he should push Crosby to play or skate and I agree with him.  The season hasn’t started yet and, even if he misses the first couple games, it’s better than him hurting himself even worse and then sitting out for weeks.

The Penguins play their first 2009-2010 game against the New York Rangers on Friday.
