Crosby, Park Injury Updates

Found December 12, 2011 on Igloo Dreams:
PLAYERS: Richard Park,  Joe Vitale
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Penguins

Ottawa_senators_v_819e
Sid is out indefinitely (again) with some concussion-like symptoms, though he has checked out okay on his tests. Richard Park has a fractured foot and is out for 4-6 weeks. Aside from obviously missing Sid tremendously, the team will miss Park's veteran presence. This does, however, secure Joe Vitale's spot in the lineup for at least 4-6 weeks, however. Kinda makes you wish the Pens hadn't traded Marc Letestu as well. There isn't much help at center in Wilkes-Barre. Ben Street is playing well, but he's not currently property of the NHL Penguins, so there must not be much thought of playing him in the NHL.

Pick Six: Tuesday December 13

Via Kukla's Korner  |  December 13, 2011
What’s the new dirty word in hockey? The c-word. Given Sidney Crosby’s current state of affairs, the concussion is officially the injury that no one wants a part of.
