"Dr. Micky Collins says Crosby's symptoms included a "foggyness" which usually means a long recovery. Says Sid won't play until he's 100%"

"Collins tested Crosby yesterday. Best he's seen. Approaching normal limits. Right now he's in conditioning mode. Not ready to return yet."

"Never considered retirement"

CROSBY FEELING BETTER, BUT NOT CLOSE TO BEING CLEARED FOR CONTACT

Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins addressed the media regarding the star centre's concussion symptoms for the first time this off-season, confirming that while he is on the path to full recovery but is not yet ready to rejoin his team in full practice.

While there is no timetable currently set for his return, Crosby said that it is likely he will play at some point this season.

"It's a difficult thing to go though and trust me I'd love to have answers myself sometimes when I was going through that but it's not as easy as that," said Crosby.

Dr. Michael Collins, one of two doctors who have worked with Crosby since the time of his injury, spoke at the press conference saying that while he expected Crosby to undergo a long recovery time when he first dealt with the injury, he has seen significant improvement recently and that his data is approaching normal limits.

"I see this as a manageable injury and we're making progress in Sid's case and I anticipate Sid returning to hockey and playing well in the future," said Collins.

He added that Crosby is currently in conditioning mode, and will not return until he is 100% recovered. He added that Crosby, while feeling better, isn't close to being cleared for contact.

The doctors said that Crosby was around 90% exertion rate during his workouts when he started to feel symptoms again and was shut down.

Crosby said that he feels more positive about recovering from the injury now than he has in a long time and that he is finally over the worse and on the path to making progress. He said that he never really considered retiring.

Crosby suffered a concussion during the Winter Classic against the Washington Capitals on New Year's Day. He returned four days later but left the January 5 game against the Tampa Bay Lightning after being hit into the boards. Crosby sat out the remainder of the season.

Penguins General Manager Ray Shero opened the press conference with a statement extending the team's condolences Lokomotiv team plane crash in Russia.
