Penguins/NHL
Penguins captain Sidney Crosby will be unavailable to play for the start of the regular season.
[hide]
The Penguins revealed today Crosby has been diagnosed with a concussion.
Crosby who felt ill when arriving to the arena on Saturday morning for the team’s final exhibition game, had additional testing today and it has been determined Crosby has a concussion.
The concussion happened in Friday’s practice — the Penguins’ are claiming. —
The team plans to be mum on what exactly happened in Friday’s practice that resulted in the concussion.
“The details of those things we would prefer to keep in-house,” Sullivan said.
For now the Penguins open themselves up to questions regarding how it happened.
“We always have our players best interest in mind and this one will be no different,” Sullivan said of Crosby whose long concussion history will have the Penguins being extremely cautious.
Sullivan moments ago touted the Penguins depth and leadership with Crosby sidelined to start the year.

Opening night, no article for 3 days, you fuckn suck D
No doubt… Crosby dealing with a concussion, kind of big news. He has hit the ice etc but zero update.
Getting close to group hug time.
wasnt it at 3pm
where is npl ? Is he still trying to figure out the answer of the math equation in order to enter the site
I bet that Fat fuckk is doing 1+0=10 instead of 1
Maybe he is working on your math that made Kessel a 10 million dollar guy that failed as bad as Toews
https://insidepittsburghsports.com/salary-charts/pittsburgh-penguins-salary-chart/
i dont care about cap hit at the end of the day he is a $10m dollar guy
Funny… because I just told you he only made 6MM last year fuckface. If you wanna look at his production last season vs his salary this year thats your own continuing deficiency at life.
“4 goals but I heard his Corsi tonight was terrible” – Tom Sestito. This one is pretty good lol
I think pens will lose tonight since there is no crosby
Seems weird – i mean, he missed the first half of last year – not like they lost every game.
but their record was better when the russian was out 18-1
When Kessel and HBK was carrying them – weird how you trap yourself like that.
apparently french candians are creepy and weird, and give off a distinct odor.
apparently most americans are fat and arrogant and since they are fat the odor is part of their stinky life
The irony of you calling others arrogant cannot be overstated
Good on you not to dispute your gross french odor. I’ll give you credit for just owning it.
apparently leagues 3 smartest players that you can build a team around are Karlson,Bergeron and Crosby
i bet dumbest players in league is Malkin that you cant build a team around specially with his 3rd period offensive zone Dumb penalties that he takes
So Toews isnt in this conversation anymore? Also after watching Karlsson abuse the term defenceman again last night I am not sure all the offence matters. Guy is a whiz in the oppositions zone but he fucken sucks in his own end. His decision making with the puck below his own blueline is atrocious.
Toews and his mysterious $10.5M contract for 55 points.
Funny how sam suddenly no longer has interest in him lol
Chubby $10m man and had what 59 points ?
he is suppose to be this sniper top 5 scoring guy yet Doan had more goals than him at half the salary as him
He also has a ring. Should have won the conn smythe. was playing with a new team. And was more comfortable and effective as the year went on. As opposed to continually regressing as his cap hit and price tag went up. I mean, you know all of this. You just choose to ignore it. You’re dumb. But you’re not that dumb.
Kessel made 6million in salary with a 6.8MM cap hit for the Pens; Toews made 13.68MM with a AAV of 10.5M. It sucks when there is so much data at the tip of our finger tips that we can catch you in all your bullshit non-stop hey? As for the Doan comparison, how bad does Toews look next to Doan then?
Sestito may be done with the team soon? Because? Rust? but how does this impact Scott Wilson who only made the team due to the Rust injury. That was my understanding of it
mario should sell now while the price is sky high. they are going to be cellar dwellars in about 2 or 3 seasons. they are going to be stuck paying malkin and kessel and they are going to be horrendous.
So…they should tear it down? Is that what you’re saying? Given your amazing track record, I’d be hard pressed to disagree.
Jesus Christ, move along to another fan base already! You have are easily one the worst fans in any market of any team I have ever come across and that includes the entirety of the Philadelphia (insert sport team here) fan base. You really are shitty, you are a complete fucken tool… from about 2012 to about 3 games before the finals you were begging the GMs to blow the roster up. Now you… wanna blow the roster up. Go cheer for Arizona or something.
Take sam and his -1s with you
And go fuck each others mothers you motherfuckers #provocative
It’s a shame we all root for such a boring team that never has anything exciting going on, if only our favorite team was opening their season in 8 hours as the defending Champs maybe there would be something for the “insiders” to write about, even better would be if that team just announced that it’s no longer for sale. I’m starting to feel bad for Depaoli for trying to run a business centered around a team that never has anything news worthy happening.
Dude- there’s instant buzz.
there has to be a new article today, right? i mean where else are we going to get predictions like james neal potting 17 goals?
Gold… he took the low risk play and made himself look like a bigger fool than he would if he had guessed 60 lol

So if Quick is gone long term will LA take a run at a goalie or is something special gonna hold the fort?
#ZakAttack The reason we beat the Rangers!
I have a feeling signing condon will make Fleury get traded by the Deadline
Mike Condon is hitting waivers when Murray returns, he will be gone then.
the prophecy will be revealed as soon as the new article is up.
Retard lol
Still hoping it’s another prediction of a 10th place finish, really excited to potentially celebrate another Cup.
Sam – good of Canada to rely on an AMERICAN to carry them. (and they still lost)
something new for a change usually its the other way around american teams rely on canadian stars to win games and sell tickets
take crosby out of pittsburgh and you will see how fast ticket sales will drop
sadly cant say same about your russian
Do you think they’ll drop this bad:
http://i.cbc.ca/1.3432953.1454550052!/fileImage/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/16x9_620/bell-centre.jpg
I kinda doubt it.
I love having hockey back.
All six subscribers need to be here tomorrow at 3pm PT for season kickoff group hug.
That’s how you be friends!
It’s a trap 3 pm is the time to get beat up
Who beats you up every day at 3pm Sam!! I’ll put a stop to it
That’s actually hilarious and its probably a Freudian slip due to years of getting his fucken ass kicked for being a racist dickwad in school lol
Sam only shows up to circlejerks.
Watching Anderson implode early feels like both Bishop and MAFs value jumping lol. Cheaper option, cheaper result!
Hopefully the oilers light Elliot up too
“Matthews may have more career goals than me before this nights over” -Tom Sestito
It’s only game one but man this is fun…. Mathews is the real deal early. He could be McDavids OV!
I was shamed when I took Matthews in my pool in our auction round! Paid 1.25 (top guys go for 5 or more, introduced at 0.25)! I mean he won’t keep this pace but damn he should be way better Han than a dollar guy lol
Agreed better then eichel
Less then 24 hours til season starts and no new articles in days on this hack site
Matthews… US born may return the Laffs to respectability lol. Marners looked good too. Bobby Ryan, American born, ties it tho
You fake Canadian why don’t you watch mcdavid scoring his first at the new Edmonton arena
Because he rookies last year and already has more than one you stupid fucking retard! Besides, I’m a huge McDavid fan and I actually live in Canada you legitimately fake fucking Canadian!
Also McDavids game is still more than 2 hours until puck drops…. You stupid fucken retard
Also I thought McDavid was in Vancouver… Wink
So Maroon beat him to it, you’re a stupid fucken asshole again lol
KingPuck….got any trade rumors? What’s going to happen long term between the pipes?
DePaoli, let’s start the season with a fresh article.
i have had a vision. a major prophecy will be announced within the next 24 hours.
we’ll look forward to that, greg.

Major Prophecy? “I predict the pens will… blow it up” – yoda the fuckface LOL
Hopefully it’s that the Pens will finish 10th, that way we can start planning the parade now.
I invented the Question Mark… discuss among yourself! YEAHHHH #provocative baby!
You’ve probably golfed before. Which makes you uniquely qualified to comment on the Masters. I expect a full rundown. Thanks!
I laughing loud in my office here haha. I will have to step off for a bit but this is great. Bravo Stanch.
“your office” I love it. You mean the basement of your mom’s Edmonton home. If you really do work in an “office” you must be integral to the success of the company.
This probably isn’t the hill to dig your heels in on.
Hey, its no leaching off a desperate woman but is does a good job paying the bills.
I’m sure it does. How much could it cost to live in your parents basement
Again coming from one of the “househusbands of San Diego” its a laugh watching you make such statements. Don’t you have laundry to do and dinner to prepare? I mean she has to keep you for that as I cant imagine she likes a dick that small haha. #provocative
That was provocative
we all know you’ve never golfed before, played any sport or ever physically exerted yourself. #suit&limo
That’s right – people that wear a suit usually don’t golf. That’s the comment I expect from someone that scrambles to find a tattered sport coat when a friend is getting married. You’re so knowledgeable!
You’re getting worse. Want me to help you?
If I need a recommendation for a good fabric softener, you’ll be the first person I go to – trust me.
Why, Dunkin Donuts doesn’t clean your uniform for you?
How sad is it that, whoever is working at Dunkin Donuts is still ahead of you on the corporate ladder?
you think he gets paid 15$ an hour ?
I think Npl was going to get 15$ at KFC
You’re slightly less boring than Jay. At least he works in a bar and bangs 20 yr old chics.
Hey… Thats not how you be friends!
I do take it as high praise considering the source is only marginally less full of shit than sam and yoda haha
Stanch, I’m bored. Make me laugh.
Of course you’re bored. You’re a housewife. Excitement for you comes in the form of trying a new dish soap.
Come on dude. You’re more funny than that.
Thanks.
What happened to npl? This place is considerably more boring without him.
Que sam “something something hotdogs, something something pokemon Go”!
why u miss his stupid big picture posts that ruins the site ?
He means this
http://i.giphy.com/3sV6yZJTk2WFq.gif
Yes retard I mean This
HAHA you calling me retard is like the kettle calling a much better pot black lol!
As opposed to the links you put up that no one clicks on?
Hilarious!
A few questions on my mind entering the 2016-2017 season, I’m pretty sure I know the answer to most of them but I figured I’d get some outside opinions.
1)Will 2016-2017 be the season that Sam actually posts something that people can understand and actually care about?
2) Will Maloni ever get tired of consistently being prove wrong?
3) Is this the year 1 of the 3 stooges finally claims the crown of dumbest person alive?
1. Not a chance.
2. I think he still feels that playing zatkoff in game two still would have been a good idea even with all 3 goalies healthy, so I doubt it.
3. I think they are all on the same level, it’s just sam has less grasp on the English language and he’s racist. It’s going to be hard to overtake him.
Will 2016-17 be the end of jaydoggs boring novels?
Too long for you Sam? I get it – but to those of us that can read, they’re not really that big of a deal.
Actually they are. Dude is boring.
Learning and bettering yourself should never be viewed as boring, maybe if you showed more enthusiasm question #2 would change from a No to a Yes and you could stop making absurd statements like “blow it up” a few months before winning the Cup.
Never made that statement. But don’t let the facts get in the way of your narrative #votehillary
Seems like an odd thing to lie about. You said it. Not only did you say it, you said it repeatedly throughout the season. #TrainedEye
I did say the roster needed an overhaul, thru about January. Yet, you never stoped saying Sid was the worst captain in the league and needed to go
Wrong. You lamented adding Schultz at the deadline when they should be “moving people out and getting ready for next year.” #TrainedEye #Zak
Maybe you backed down when the team started to show what it’s capable of but if you deny you had been saying it basically up to or just following the coaching change then you are a huge fucken liar, yoda style.
I can answer that question…NO! How else will you learn if I stop posting?
Haven’t been proven wrong yet, why would this season be different.
Right. “Tear it down” a month before a cup run. Nope. Nothing to see here. Fucking idiot.
I too am tired of Wilson already so how is it possible he is still on the roster? #somethingspecial
Because Rust is hurt. Read my post again moron.
“Read my post again” – You mean the one that said “I have seen enough of Wilson and Pouliot, something something boys” from like nearly a week ago?
And the next one that said barring an injury Wilson starts in minors and is eventually brought up. No worries, stop reading where you want.
Oh goodies, you hedged your bone head comment… that noted I do recall a “I’d rather have Guentzel” remark opposed to this claim. The day before he was demoted. Do you have some sort of dementia or are you this dishonest in everything you do?
Yup, that was the provocative post that started the dialogue (something you’re incapable of doing) followed by my post that he would only stay up if there’s a injury.
#provocative. So all I have to do is make bone-headed outrageous claims or talk directly from my ass and I can be provocative too? Sweet!
Zero, it’s good your boy Pouliot made the opening day roster. #lookinggood
LOL, yes… I have been a staunch supporter of Pouliot. I have made bold claims such as “he looked fine”. I mean its no “I have seen enough of Wilson” who was the teams top rookie last year before the injury and who is making this roster regardless of Rusts injury but I can see why you would be confused.
Also I can’t wait to see what #somethingspecial does this year. I hear this is the year he will out play MAF in all aspects of the game. #Zatkoffforpresident2016! #1-1winstheseries
You mean the goalie Sullivan credited with winning the Rangers series. That something special? Yup, I’m guilty.
LOL, I am glad you keep going back to that well considering I have already blown that wide open as non-sense. “Gave us a chance to win” were the exact words. I am glad the coach has more sense then to say a guy that went 1-1 while getting lit up in the second game was not the reason they went on to win the next 3 straight games somewhat easily lol.
#imwithsullivan
ironically you are not, because you don’t even know what he is saying lol. It’s on the internet if you would like to correct that.
“He looked fine”. Haha. Try “Pouliot looked really good”. No worries. I know what you meant.
HAHA, you can’t even be honest with yourself here. You kept chewing on that bone during the playoffs because you thought you had something and I was able to get the exact commentary to prove once again you were wrong. Doesnt bode well for the claim at the top of this page. “Pouliot looked fine” in a game you said he was a “Train-wreck”… credit where its due, he was a train wreck the following game so maybe it was a prediction, you have one up on yoda now congrats lol.
He’s still a train wreck.
This we agree on, inconsistent play… he is like Despres that can skate but doesnt have that amazing 6’4 frame. You still a fan of the latter?
Must be talking about Yoda. I never said that. But you did say in March Sid was garbage. #neverplayedteamsport
You both sAid it. And you know it. #TrainedEye #DekHockey
Semantics… you backed off slightly before yoda did lol.
Seriously??? Go no farther than a few days ago when your well trained eyes had seen enough of Wilson just a few hours before he was the best player on the ice and 1g-2a in a game that featured all the regulars except Sid.
now that pens got Condom those this mean Its the end of Fleury by trade deadline ?
Hey Butthead, you said Condom
Ya, he thinks he is being funny when the truth is he is a stupid fuckface!
In his defense, neither him nor his mom know what a condom is.
True although I hear she may have invented the DVDA lol
That’s really good stuff right there.
Hopefully with a condom we wont have any more fleury
lol do you read what you write?
If only your mom would have got a condom.
Sid took the ice today?
Ruslan Fedotenko retired.
i thought he retired since 09 that clown he was done then i dont even know what took him so long to hang his skates officially when he tried to come back last 2 years to the nhl and no one wanted him
You’re such a fucken tard… how could you not like Fedotenko? Guy was a heart and soul type guy. Yes he was done by the time he resigned with Pittsburgh but do you shit on every players for being old? While it is frustrating to watch well past their prime guys get big minutes or play out a high salary (i.e. Kunitz) why would you suddenly shit on them? He got old… he is a clown because he got old? Was Lemieux a clown in 2005? All these guys know is the game, they lived ate, slept and breathed it… Read more »
How much did he make Stanch?
It’s beyond you. Your expertise stem from dek hockey. Not holding down a job. Smarten up.
Stanch – ppsssttt. your name tag is upside down.
Pens claimed Mike Condon to backup Fleury – wonder if Murray out longer than they thought…
if only there were some sort of an ‘insider’ who would be able to gather this type of information…
Yeah, but you’d probably need to pay for a service like that.
Haha – bravo gentlemen.
Either that or someone is on the move. Generally, hand injuries aren’t too serious. Very interesting.
Come on stanch, this is clearly a move designed to give the Pens comfort that we now have a real starter. Not sure if he is Zatkoff special but a much better option than MAF!
If only we had someone that casually played beer league sports that could give us some insight behind the move….
What we need are more donuts…Stanch, put your name tag on the customers dont recognize you. #umbrance
You can run out and get some for the group. I mean, you’re goinrg to need your wife’s debit card, but you clearly have the time.
Would we accept winter street hockey?
Turd I left in the toilet this morning is a better option than Fleury
#tearitdown #bringbackzak
Why would you want to bring back Zak, goalies don’t matter.
50 bucks that turd would not have been begging the tam to “blow it up” every day since roughly 2012 so it has that on you too
Wrong again. Edmontonstupid
why dont you jump on your play station and figure it out.
That’s Sam-Esque level. So good. You’re regressing.
Except, you really have no clue. Sid sucks, goalies don’t matter, power plays don’t matter in the playoffs. Please share more. #teamsport
I take that as a compliment from a guy that can’t hold down a job and blames the goalie for everything. So, thank you.
“I don’t know why people are saying it happened in the World Cup”-Crosby. Nice call yogurt.
HAHAHAHA, I refer to my rant below again because eat shit yoda lol
Fucken internet lol, everyone is clamouring for Sid to retire… because its not the fact that he only missed 21 games in the last four years but the new concussion that tells the whole story here. Its not the 90s, we are much better at dealing with these things today, people are dumb.
If it was an ongoing thing then I get it but it’s amazing how fast we see people begging for him to shut it all down
Just retire. I’ve seen enough of Crosby.
kill yourself, i’ve heard enough of you
Simply Dusty at his finest.
Que Evgeny Malkin.
Concussions are unacceptable for a guy making $12 m
He’s not making $12 million this year.
Shit. Can we still hate on him?
Ask your wife. I’m not sure what she’s willing to let you do.
I talked to my wife. She wanted to know if you still wear a uniform with your first name on the breast pocket to work?
I tried to explain that you announced to a bunch of strangers that you wear a suit and take a limo to Pens games. Of course she was impressed.
Of course not. She’s willing to marry a guy that cleans for a living. She’s impressed by wall mart and a big weekly dinner at Boston Market with her penniless husband.
Fact remains you did pronounce that you wear a dress suit to pens games. Nuts for a guy that wears a plastic name badge to work.
It must really sting asking her for that check to pay your dek hockey dues every year.
#Pronounce
New word for you? Whatever you do don’t confuse it with “umbrance”
Btw, you’re not very funny.
No. your wife wanted to know if you were able to get the shitt stains out of her panties while she was away all day supporting you.
Stanch, time to make the Donuts.
All you people bitching about how he sucks, are now worried that he’s hurt???? You guys amaze me!!!!
Yeah acknowledging a guy played bad for a couple months means we don’t want him playing for us. !!!!!!!???????!!!!!
To be fair, a couple of months would be generous
Who is saying he sucks? Literally no one. The argument has been twofold, he stayed too quiet for a longtime last year and there is a group that believes Malkin is a piece of crap despite the fact that statistically he still challenges Crosby when healthy.
I’m calling bs on the injury at practice. He got hurt during the World Cup and the pens/NHL won’t say it so the fans don’t freak that the best player got hurt in a bs tournament.
If you think it’s BS, than an injury at practice is probably exactly what happened. #TearItDown
Lol, more conspiracy theory. They kept it quiet all through the end of the tourney until now, even told the hockey world he would debut vs CLB only to set up the cover story. Of course team owners like Mario and Burke who are looking to sell were happy to keep the cover up going despite the fact that this news will play in the teams sale lol. Jesus Christ dude!
This is brutal. Wtf happened? He should hardly be practicing anyway. Hopefully it isn’t too too bad.
Good news this must be a amazing news for Stain
It’s nothing news, Sam. Just like last year, he probably won’t contribute for the first couple of months – this team is used to this. Remember how Geno is the one that’s always hurt? Why do you canadians have such fragile brains?
At least sid I injured while your Russian does not produce and excuses are he is playing injured. I malkin was really injured in the playoffs he wouldn’t play WC
Try that in English you dumbass… I mean why did you injure Sid? Also I thought you said stats don’t matter? And if they do why doesn’t it matter that Malkin kept pace with Crosby all playoffs? You’ve contradicted yourself several times here.
Well that sucks
no sid, no murray. sucks with 2 stars out of the lineup.
Look at the bright side – they went the first half of the year without Sid last year, and they won the Cup.

Kunitz
I want names!
Sestito run Sid?
FUCK! How did it occur?
