Crosby cleared for comeback
PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW ^ | 11/20/11 | Rob Rossi

Call it a comeback.

Actually, call it The Comeback.

Penguins center Sidney Crosby will play Monday night against the New York Islanders at Consol Energy Center, the team announced today.

In a statement it was said that Crosby would speak Monday morning after a practice.

He has not played since Jan. 5 because of a concussion.

Crosby was diagnosed with a concussion Jan. 6 after he absorbed two blindside hits over a period of five days. He was clipped by then-Washington forward David Steckel at the Winter Classic on New Year's Eve and driven from behind into the boards by Tampa Bay defenseman Victor Hedman on Jan. 5.

They need all the help they can get at this point. I enjoyed the trip down memory lane last night as they enshrined Eddie Westphall in the Islanders Hall of Fame. It was heartwarming to watch the testimonials from the past - Chicco Resch, Al Arbour, Bossy, et al.

Did you catch Anders Nilsson, all 6' 5", in net?

Hurricanes and Blackhawks fan here(in that order!!!)

I'm glad they had him take the time to recover...and I'm glad he's coming back. He's good for the game. I hope he has a long career.

2 goals and 2 assists!

Can't wait until he knocks some of the rust off!
