Sidney Crosby out 8 weeks?

If Sidney Crosby wants any advice on dealing with the first major injury of his hockey career, he needs only to bring up the subject at the dinner table.
After all, who is better versed on handling a bad injury than Pittsburgh Penguins co-owner Mario Lemieux, the team's longtime but oft-injured star?
Crosby, the NHL's marquee name and the player the Penguins are building a Stanley Cup contender around, learned Tuesday he will be out for six to eight weeks with a high ankle sprain.
The timetable is what the Penguins realistically expected almost from the moment Crosby was hurt during the first period Friday night against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Still, the 20-year-old Crosby thought his age and superb conditioning might allow him to return sooner.
"I was hoping three or four weeks would be the most," Crosby said, talking publicly Tuesday for the first time since being hurt. "It doesn't look like it will be like that. We'll see how fast I heal."
