Well, one benefit (consequence?) of being a Pittsburgh Penguins fans is you get to brush up on a lot about anatomy and physiology watching player after player go down with weird injuries. Last month we learned all about Evgeni Malkin and “soft tissue” injuries, now the current subject de jour is all about the sports hernia that Sidney Crosby is dealing with.
The team has now confirmed Crosby has undergone surgery to correct an issue.
Yesterday on twitter an athletic trainer and Pens’ fan shed some knowledge on the injury and what a future course could look like for the player, so take some notes — there will be a quiz at the end.
