From the Globe and Mail:

quote:


“No matter if it’s from the blindside or straight on, if someone targets the head, then yeah, I think that should be banned,” Crosby said Monday afternoon in an interview posted on the Penguins’ web site. “But when you’re looking at accidental contact and stuff, well, that’s going to be up to people making those disciplinary decisions whether or not it was targeted and things like that.

“But as far as deliberate head shots, yeah. You’re not going to lose anything from the game if you take that away. I mean, if a guy has enough time to line someone up, then he’s got enough time to decide whether he can hit him in the head or not. I think that’s pretty realistic.”




In related news, Crosby skated for the first time since he's been out. He was on the ice in full gear for about 15 mins and didn't do much outside of stickhandle around some pilons and shoot a few pucks. Still, that's progress from sitting in a dark, quiet room. That said, he still has no idea when he will return or if he will even play again this season.
