Uh oh?

Won't be ready for the start of the season. Best case is probably two months from now.

they won't even be giving a timetable most likely...just a status and answering questions

Funny stuff I found of FB:

Crosby: "I'm gonna take my talents to South Beach to join Lebron!"

Crosby: "I let the dogs out."

Is this still happening today?

Yes I believe.

I'm surprised Crosby let it happen this way and not just answered questions impromptu- because it's getting silly. Sportsnet is so excited, they almost Dung themselves this morning. TSN is excited, everyone is all atwitter.

All for him to say that he's working towards coming back, there's no timetable right now, we're taking it day by day, we're hoping to be back for opening night, I've continued to train in preparation, he appreciates everyone's well wishes, blah, blah, blah.

Watch what he says and see how close I am.

Wouldn't be the worst decision to postpone. Who cares about his headaches right now?

It's a media availability, they are going to ask him questions. There will a be a doctor there. People wanted him to speak, he's speaking. Even if he said nothing much, he's just catering to the masses.

and yeah he will most likely say what you say and you must have read Bob McKenzie who said the exact same thing

Now would be the time to announce bad news.

The entire NHL still cares. There's nothing that can be done about the Russian flight, might as well get this silly PC over with IMO.

He'll never divulge bad news today IMO. He'll say what I wrote a couple of posts up and if it's more serious, he will NOT let on.

Obviously.

Okay then

Back to my original question: why would Crosby do it this way and not do an impromptu media scrum. Why would he want this attention.
