Crosby Gets Concussion Advice From Leopold

From Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News,

Concussed Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby skated for the first time in more than two months Monday, a 15-minute session on his own early in the morning at the Consol Energy Center. Later in the day, the NHL?s biggest star met with reporters and said he?s talked to hardly any players around the league about his injury.

He admitted to one notable exception: A chat last week with Buffalo Sabres defenseman Jordan Leopold, who suffered a concussion during the playoffs last year while playing with the Penguins.

?Sid was in a pretty good mood that day. I normally try to talk to him every time I?m in town or when they come in here,? Leopold said prior to Tuesday?s game in HSBC Arena against the Carolina Hurricanes, which was not complete in time for this edition. ?I think his spirits were up. He knows he?s got better days ahead of him, of course. I just wanted to reach out to him and let him know I was thinking about him and ask him how he was doing.

more, including Leopold?s firsthand experience of dealing with the emotional aspect of a concussion.
