Penguins Notebook: Crosby can’t explain constant groin problem

Sunday, December 06, 2009

By Shelly Anderson, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Penguins captain and leading scorer Sidney Crosby seems resigned to the fact that he is going to have to deal with groin problems from time to time.

…..

He said it had been “nagging me for three or four days” and had been getting worse rather than better. He left the Penguins’ morning skate after five minutes.

“I’ve tried to identify why,” he said.

Sidney, Sidney.  I can identify why.  Let’s do the math.

If they interviewed Sid on Saturday, his groin hurt for  “3 or 4 days” that means he hurt it sometime late November.

Marc-Andre’s birthday was Nov. 28.  That was also the night of Sid’s most recent hat trick.  I assumed the hat trick was Sid’s Very Special birthday gift for MAF…but the celebratin’ must have gone on the rest of the weekend.    Oh those naughty boys.

When you look at it from this perspective, you can’t begrudge the Sidster a missed game or two.  It was for a good cause, non?
