The wellfare of Sidney Crosby’s brain has been a hot topic of discussion during this Penguins-Capitals second round series. Crosby, who has a long history of head injuries, suffered a concussion during Game 3 last week but only missed one game before returning to the lineup.
From the outside looking in, a lot of people wondered if the Penguins’ captain was rushing back to the ice too soon. Regardless, he was cleared by doctors and he returned to action for Game 5.
But during Monday’s Game 6 in Pittsburgh, Crosby had another head injury scare on this brutal collision with the boards during the first period.
