Report: Sidney Crosby Dead Of Intracranial Bleeding, Will Start Against Flyers
MARCH 29, 2011 |


PITTSBURGH—According to a report released by the Pittsburgh Penguins organization Monday, star forward Sidney Crosby, who suffered a severe concussion last January, fatally succumbed to intracranial complications Monday at the age of 23 and is expected to make his first start in nearly three months tonight against the Philadelphia Flyers.
"Late last night Sidney experienced a severe brain hemorrhage and was rushed to University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, where doctors were unable to revive him and he was pronounced dead at 6:30 a.m.,"† Penguins owner Mario Lemieux said in a statement.
"We're really looking forward to seeing 'Sid The Kid' back out there on the ice where he belongs, leading this team into the playoffs. It's a hockey night in Pittsburgh!" Crosby is survived by his parents Troy and Trina and a younger sister Taylor, and, according to head coach Dan Bylsma, should get 18 to 20 minutes of ice time tonight depending on how he feels

You can bet Zombie Sid won't have the concussion problems anymore, so there is SOME good news there.

True. But it takes the whole finger biting issue to a whole new level for Shanahan this year.

"You know why we called you here to New York, don't you Sid?"

"Brrraaaaaiiinnns..."

"Yes, we're not happy with what you did to Henrik Lundqvist's brains. We'd also like to suspend you for what you did to Orpik, but we're not sure how that would work."

The great part about this is that post-zombie-apocolypse, there will still be some great hockey talent around.

well, if the only way to kill a zombie is to bash its skull in, then there could be an issue with the whole 'targeted head shots' agenda.
and all of a sudden, i would want Matt Cooke on my team :wacko:

That's true, and Bettman would actually be better of to change the rules back to pre-helmet rules so zombie Sid has no head protection. Of course if Bettman is already a zombie, all bets are off.

They just need zombie Sid to wear one of these for all practices, games, and team travel to avoid further infection.
