TheMazz Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=602434 And now to see which Crosby is finally back. Will he be a shell of his former self or the same old Crosby we've watched played since his entry into the league.

Onddeck Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 it really is crazy how this took as long as it did. mondays game will tell us a lot, who knows if he's the same because that was an intense injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn01 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 My money is on him being stronger then he was. He has had alot of time to get himself in the tip top of shape. Itll be interesting to see him back in there. He has to keep in mind though that he isnt the same guy and it will take less to injure him again.

I definitely wouldn't put your money on that he is stronger now as he ever was lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even leaving out the concussion angle for a second, Crosby's been out almost as long as Zach was now, and Zach still hasn't rounded back into form yet. That said, 70% of Crosby's still probably in the top ten percent of players in the league considering his ice vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsfan118 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 One big hit away from a relapse? Good for the sport I guess. I personally can't stand him so I didn't exactly miss seeing him play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarpathianForest Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 He's a good hockey player, but let's not get all pie in the sky, he still plays for the Pens and therefore still sucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie B Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 In my humble opinion, he was out as long as he was because the team did not want to take any chances, no matter how small. Can't really blame them, either. PhysIcally I think he will be in tip top shape, mentally it make take him a few games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 well like anyone else he should have a slow start before he can adjust to game speed and intensity he's a step above everyone in the world but he's still human Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 It's good for the game to have Crosby back. I, however, didn't miss him one bit. He makes a division rival that much stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't dive, whine, cry, yap, complain, and (fill in the blank), he will be a good player for the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
