Crosby skates for first time since concussion

He was only out there for fifteen minutes, but just getting back on the ice is a good sign.

I seem to recall a previous report that had Crosby on the ice since suffering his concussion.

You'd think the earlier report must have been mistaken. The Penguins' own website is reporting this is the first time he's been on the ice since then. Surely they know if he's been on the ice or not.

He made it two days in a row.  Today no one on the team skated.

I would say he did not prior to this, there was actually a report out of Toronto that his family was pressuring him to retire.

I can't remember when and where I saw the report. It doesn't matter much if the earlier report existed or is my imagination getting something wrong. Clearly, Crosby needed the time off. That's the only relevant point.

Crosby's father debunked the Toronto report. Some Toronto hockey writers ought to get a gig with FoxNews. They'd get a larger paycheck, I'd imagine.
