Crosby out six to eight weeks, to return in March

Penguins center Sidney Crosby is expected to be out six to eight weeks while recovering from the high ankle sprain he sustained last Friday.

That prognosis was issued after Crosby underwent an extensive examination this morning.

If the timetable holds -- and that is far from certain, because setbacks are common for athletes with such injuries -- Crosby should return to the lineup sometime in early to mid-March.

Not good news fcr the Penguins. And also not good for anyone watching the local sports shows since this means its going to be Penguins Penguins Penguins being discussed and not much else.
