COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Right around a decade ago, there was legitimate concern about the longevity of Sidney Crosby's career.
Dealing with concussions and post-concussion syndrome, worries swirled about Crosby even making it back onto the ice, let alone what player he might be if he did.
After being robbed of what was sure to be three of the greatest individual seasons of the modern era, Crosby is doing everything he can to make up for it as he approaches the end of his 17th NHL campaign.
Crosby missed the first several weeks of the season recovering from wrist surgery, and upon his return, tallied just one goal and an assist through his first seven contests.
