Just in case you've been hiding under a rock and missed this NHL news:

Link above includes a video of the announcement.

Pittsburgh center Sidney Crosby, out since Dec. 5, is suffering from a neck injury and a concussion, according to a statement from the team.

"The diagnosis of Dr. Robert S. Bray, a neurological spine specialist based in Los Angeles, is that Sidney Crosby had suffered a neck injury in addition to a concussion. Dr. Bray reports that the neck injury is fully healed. Those findings will be evaluated by independent specialists over the next few days.

"The most important goal all along has been Sidney's return to full health, and we are encouraged that progress continues to be made."

Crosby's agent, Pat Brisson, was at the 2012 Molson Canadian NHL All-Star Skills Competition and spoke to the media about Crosby's condition. He said that Bray's diagnosis will be examined by other specialists in the next 24 to 48 hours.

The further the onion gets peeled on this thing, the weirder it gets.

This is the BEST. HOCKEY. PLAYER. ON. THE. FUCKING. PLANET. And the team doctors couldn’t find a vertebrae fracture? Holy shit. That should be grounds for malpractice at the VERY least, if it’s true.

couldn’t figure out what was wrong with larusso’s face. remember that? they got mad when rolen refused to trust their opinions and went elsewhere for medical advice.

team doctors occasionally strike me as carney first aid providers.. WALK. IT. OFF.
