Lainauksia eilisestä mediakonferenssista:
Dr. Michael Collins"I’m very optimistic that we’ll see Sid have a very long, fruitful NHL career"
"The prognosis is excellent that Sid will not have any long-term problems from this injury"
"We’re not going to allow Sid to go back at 90 percent. I can guarantee you one thing, that he will be 100 percent normal before he goes back to play."
"I work with a lot of different organizations and a lot of different athletes who have concussions. With the Penguins, I’ve never seen a group of individuals more committed to making sure this is done right. It will be done right."
Dr. Ted Carrick"It’s Christmas for Sidney Crosby and the people who care for him. It’s Christmas because it’s a celebration. Our greatest direction is to ensure that Sid has a very fruitful and positive life, that he can anything he wishes to do in hockey and after hockey. This is going to have a very good outcome. Sid shouldn’t have any problems in the future."
Ray Shero"From the team standpoint, the 80, 90 percent we hear about, he will not return to play until he is 100 percent. Here is a player over my five years who has played less than 80 percent with injuries, as many athletes do. But there is no 90 percent returning from a concussion."
Sidney Crosby"Mentally I feel good, probably the best I’ve felt. I’m really happy with the last three weeks. It’s been a tough road."
"Retirement? No, I always thought about the consequences of this injury and making sure I’m smart with it because at the end of the day (retirement) is the last thing I want. That being said, I did not give a whole lot of thought to (retiring)."
Jollakulla saattaa olla parempaa infoa noiden lippujen menekistä..
Penguinsillä on yli 200 peräkkäisen loppuunmyydyn kotiottelun putki päällä, joka jatkuu edelleen. Kun kyseessä on maailman paras pelaaja ja hänen terveytensä, uskon, että tällä mediakonferenssilla oli tarkoitus pitää kiekkomaailma tietoisuudessa ja kertoa mikä Crosby tämän hetkinen status on.
