So HE returns……..

So now we know that Sidney Crosby is coming back tonight against the New York Islanders. The Pittsburgh Penguins Center has missed basically what amounts to nearly a 1/4 of the season with post concussion syndrome. Remember he has been out for some 10 1/2 months but who is counting, especially in Pittsburgh and in fantasy circles.

While it will be tough to really gauge Crosby’s impact, keep in mind that he will be eased into the lineup or that is the impression we received from the Dan Bylsma press conference. His ice time tonight is expected to be around 12-14 minute and no one would be shocked if a good chunk of it came on the man advantage. Some are questioning the return tonght but gee its on Versus, its now on HNIC, it will probably be broadcast throughout the world. ESPN will probably even cover it in detail (gasp I said ESPN!).

As to who his linemates will be, please watch the first game to get an idea of who he is mostly playing with. Do not go by press conferences, interviews, and such. Just watch. It is the best advice I can give to any fantasy player out there.
