It has been ten years since the Steckel on Crosby hit.

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I was just reading about this. This hit pretty much ruined Steckel's career. Found himself bouncing around after that when he had a solid role with the Capitals. Think he would've been able to get another 5-7 solid years in the NHL had that never happened.

This play is what paved the way for. Mcdavid,mack, matthews,drai,kaprizov,kucherov etc to play in a high octane soft as butter nhl. They should pay homage

Not going to feel too bad for Sidney. He got his 3 Stanley Cups and 2 Olympic Golds. Plenty of individual hardware. Definitely will go down as a top 10 player in the history of the sport, and while I'm not at all his biggest fan very arguably top 5. Not to mention the millions of dollars and international fame. Probably takes exclusively one wiper shits too that milk drinker.

He was and is a great player. Lots of great players never get a real chance to win for real in their career. Maybe Steckel meant to get a piece of him, maybe not. What difference does it make ultimately? It's a fast paced game and shit happens.

I think the Pens fans stated that Crosby had missed so much time because of headache due to sinus infection, not a constipation. So Pittsburgh doctors basically ruined Steckel's career.

I thought it was an accident at the time. Don't feel any different now. The game is fast. Shit happens.

Yea losing the best player in the league for the better part of two years led to significant rule changes. Concussion protocol didn't even exist before this.

What in the actual F is this.

Steckel gave Crosby a concussion, but was Hedmans boarding the next game that gave Crosby his neck injury

No one would've ever thought of it as intentional if it didn't happen to a star player.

Not only that: don't forget that it was the prime time of Matt Cooke running around with headshots. Penguins fans watched that clown's intent to injure every game, so they were struggling to comprehend that there could be unintentional head injuries.
