Crosby tremendous in today's practice but Pens downplaying his progress

It was a very productive day for Penguins captain Sidney Crosby. Crosby went through a rigorous on-ice individual workout with strength and conditioning coach Mike Kadar in the 9:30-10:30 a.m. hour than participated fully in today's practice.

Crosby was a full participant, participating in every drill, skating on the 5th line with Mike Comrie and Eric Godard, and even taking some reps on the 2nd power play unit during 5-on-3 situations.

Crosby looked tremendous on the ice but the Penguins remain cautious and are downplaying his progress.
