Breaking: More details on the Crosby injury paint things in an even darker light.

This is not good.

Earlier today it was revealed that Pittsburgh Penguins forward Sidney Crosby had suffered a concussion, but the details surrounding this story may be even worse than the news of the injury itself.

TSN insider Bob McKenzie has painted a rather disturbing picture of the events surrounding the injury, one that lead you to question the long term health of the National Hockey League superstar. According to McKenzie despite the fact that Crosby's concussion testing was done this morning, leading to the discovery of the injury, the actual injury itself was suffered on Friday.

You may ask why that is troubling? Well for one no one seems to be aware of how Crosby suffered the injury on Friday, leading one to believe that a minor incident, perhaps even one not worthy of being noticed, was the cause for what is a serious injury. 

The other concerning factor of course is that Crosby went four days without being diagnosed with the injury and who knows how his physical exertion over those four days may have made things worse, something that could have been avoided.

Head coach Mike Sullivan has since confirmed that no one saw anything on Friday, and if Crosby is quite literally contracting concussions out of thin air that would speak to an even bigger problem.

Obviously there will be more to come on this story.
