Bad things keep happening to Sidney Crosby at one end of the ice in his own arena.
Sidney Crosby crashes head-first into boards 1 week after concussion
Crosby looked shaken but kept playing in Game 6.
The Pittsburgh Penguins captain suffered a concussion in Game 3 at home, but cleared concussion protocol in time to return for Game 5. Back home in Pittsburgh for Game 6 on Monday, Crosby was playing well when he crashed head-first into the end boards.
At high velocity, too.
Crosby got tangled up with Capitals defender Brooks Orpik and Penguins teammate Patric Hornqvist there. You can see the head hitting the boards first in the slow motion replay.
Crosby looked shaken up but kept playing. It’s worth noting that this end of the rink was the same side where Matt Niskanen cross-checked him in Game 3. Crosby might be okay, but we’re just a week out from his latest head injury, so incidents like this sure stand out and make you worry for the guy.
