Sidney Crosby’s back and doing very well indeed since a concussion forced him to sit out a year of hockey. We look at how he spent his recovery time.
Visited Pittsburgh-area children’s hospitals; drooled on the patients
Finding himself in the storerooms of New Mexico VFW halls with no idea how he got there
Looking up open-mouthed as he felt it beginning to rain; nearly drowning
Practiced tying his ice skates by himself so Mario Lemieux wouldn’t have to do it before every game anymore
Wrote all of the lyrics to the newest Dave Matthews album
Often woke from dream that he was sweating, vomiting, and falling and was relieved to find he was sweating, vomiting, and convulsing
In an effort to stay in shape, ran several miles a day, usually into a wall
Was completely surprised to learn an entire year had passed
