Crosby: The Return (The Sequel)

If you're sick of hearing about Sidney Crosby, and I'm sure that eliminates a lot of the Philadelphia Flyers and Washington Capitals fans, then don't read any further.  I'll wait...

*waits*

Still here?  Alright.  Crosby makes his return (again) tonight at Madison Square Garden as his Penguins visit the New York Rangers for a division game.  The big story, as you just might imagine, is Crosby making a return from recurring concussion symptoms originally suffered last season.  Currently, Crosby is slated to center the third line, and the Penguins are in the midst of chasing down the Rangers for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.  I guess what I am saying is that this game matters, even if Crosby isn't playing or makes a significant contribution to tonight's game.  For the Pens, his return is as good as trading for a superstar, as the Penguins did not make a move prior to the trade deadline in anticipation of his return.  If Crosby is half as good as he was prior to the concussion issues, then the Penguins will almost certainly have to be moved to the head of the Easter Conference class.
