Sidney Crosby is out of the NHL all-star game with a lower-body injury.
Huge injuries like this year after year is really starting to test my patience as a fan.
Nobody's to blame, but **** man. I want to cheer for a team where there's a slight chance that most of the best players will be healthy. That sure as hell isn't happening here.

Great news that Sid will get a week to rest and relax.
Is there a rule that if you miss the all star game you have to miss a game with your team? That's kind of how it sounded when you read it.
OMG, not the ASG????
Please dear God no, take me instead. Just do not let Malkin and Crosby miss the all important ASG.
Probably. A couple Red Wings were suspended for a game for ruling themselves out of the All-Star Game last time around.
Hey, if it's a nagging injury I want him to take the week off.
That Winnipeg game might be a tough watch, i guess Sutter and Goc will be the top 2 centers for that game.
Why would the Pens give a carp if Rinaldo is suspended at this point? If anything the Flyers are probably better off with him out of the lineup...
I'd love it if there was some way that the team whose player was injured could somehow be compensated but unless they're in a playoff series against each other, the player who caused the injury maybe gets suspended and some other team possibly benefits from that...
Hmm, what if teams got cap space or even a pick from the team that caused the injury -- if Letang is out for a few weeks you transfer 100K in cap space / week from the Flyers to the Pens. If he's out longer maybe the Pens get a Flyers' pick that is proportional to the value of the player who was injured / the duration of the injury... Knock Crosby out for the rest of the season and that's going to cost you your first rounder...
Do it Buttman!
I hope Sid's issue is 1% injury and 99% middle finger to Bettman (and the refs).
