Trailer for Pittsburgh Penguins Movie

The other day I was going on about Sam Worthington's hair looking like Mario Lemieux's, and how Worthington should play Lemieux in the movie of the 1992 Pittsburgh Penguins.

That got me to thinking, so instead of watching The Help tonight, I went online and found this.

Quit Talking About Concussions and do Something for Crying out Loud





So apparently Sidney Crosby will be speaking to the media on Wednesday, addressing the state of his recovery and comeback from a concussion.

The last time Crosby played for the Penguins was January 2011. He was forced to take the last half of the season off after multiple blows to the head in back to back games.

His press confernce comes after a summer filled with the self-inflicted deaths of multiple NHL enforcers (speculated by many to be due to depression caused by head injuries), the announcement that all star Marc Savard will miss yet another season because of post-concussion syndrome, and growing awareness of the severity of these types of injuries in all professional sports.

So what will come of all the recent attention?

What was the result?
