'Crosby, Sheary diagnosed with concussions'

"Captain Sidney Crosby has been diagnosed with a concussion and will not play in Game 4 of the Pens' Second Round series against Washington on Wednesday night at PPG Paints Arena.

"We will evaluate him day-to-day," head coach Mike Sullivan said. "He will go through the protocols that we always put our guys through when they've been diagnosed with a concussion."

Crosby suffered the concussion on Monday night following a play five minutes into the first period. During the sequence Crosby was driving to the net when Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin's stick caught him in the head.

Ovechkin also clipped Crosby's skate, causing the Pens center to lose balance and fall toward the side of the crease. At that point Capitals defenseman Matt Niskanen collided with Crosby, again catching him in the helmet.

Crosby, who hours earlier had been named as an NHL MVP candidate for the Hart Trophy, left the game and did not return.

On the play Crosby's right leg was also caught under him as he was falling. But Sullivan said there was no lower-body injury for Crosby.

Niskanen was given a five-minute major for cross checking and a game misconduct on the play. He did not receive any further supplemental disciplinary action via the NHL Department of Player Safety.

Niskanen said he was "absolutely not" trying to injure Crosby following the game."

Bringing a series back from 3-1 to 3-2 isn't anything to get all that excited about yet. Most teams up 3-1 tend to coast and rest folks to have fresher legs when they get back home and close it out there.

Well talk about letting them back in the series!!! :nono:

Ovie on the third line?? Seems to be working..Pens can't get through the neutral zone. What are they averaging, 5 shots a period the last 2 games?? Unreal. I've been watching the Caps hammer the Pens for a while wondering if it was going to catch up to the Pens eventually. Game 7..whodathunk?? Going to be good.

The Washington Capitals walk into a bar. Everybody orders a drink. They finish drinking and they have another. The bartender asks if they want to start a tab. Ovechkin comes out and says "No Thanks, we always stop at the second round"

Don't know where to post this, but there's WC:s in hockey going on in Köln. Sweden just defeated Canada. Rangers King Henrik stepped up and "won" the game that went to penalty shots.
