Sidney Crosby's back and doing very well indeed since a concussion forced him to sit out a year of hockey. We look at how he spent his recovery time.
- Visited Pittsburgh-area children's hospitals; drooled on the patients
- Finding himself in the storerooms of New Mexico VFW halls with no idea how he got there
- Looking up open-mouthed as he felt it beginning to rain; nearly drowning
- Practiced tying his ice skates by himself so Mario Lemieux wouldn't have to do it before every game anymore
- Wrote all of the lyrics to the newest Dave Matthews album
- Often woke from dream that he was sweating, vomiting, and falling and was relieved to find he was sweating, vomiting, and convulsing
- In an effort to stay in shape, ran several miles a day, usually into a wall
- Was completely surprised to learn an entire year had passed
