The Corey Crawford saga continues as Senior Advisor Of Hockey Operations Stan Bowman made some comments on Prime Time Sports on Sportsnet 590 The FAN. He told the reputable Canadian sports outlet “It’s not what they’re reporting.”
Reports last night said that Crawford is suffering from vertigo-like symptoms but Bowman says differently. He elaborated on his initial statement and said, “Now, apparently what he really has is post-concussion syndrome.”
With the tight-lipped Blackhawks, no one really knows when the latest concussion may have a occurred. Crawford did suffer a heavy blow to the head in late November from Evgeni Malkin. He left the game but later returned. This story may line up since he did make a short trip to the IR on December 1st.
Whatever it is, the Blackhawks have handled this situation very poorly with their procedure of keeping injury information in house. This is the same organization that was named in a lawsuit just last year for mishandling concussions.
I personally don’t care what the actual issue is. I just want Crawford to get right and return to the ice. It’s just very frustrating thinking of how the organization has handled the issue. It has led to too much speculation and now it’s turning into a circus.
