Sorry, but this is an accident waiting to happen. He is an amazing player..I've seen him a few times on ice, but EVERYTHING we have learned about concussions ( primarily from the NFL studies) tell us that the effects are cumulative...so if he plays, he'll get hit again, and he will suffer another concussion, and hopefully it won't have a debilitating effect.

Did you read the article?..the person in charge of his treatment/recovery is a CHIROPRACTOR..This is insanity..

Crosby had been treated primarily by Michael Collins, a clinical psychologist with extensive neurological training who heads the UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program.

Collins has served as head of Crosby’s concussion team, though Penguins team physician Dr. Charles Burke, an orthopedic surgeon, clears all players for return to play.
