from Rich Chere of the Star-Ledger,
Brian Rolston’s ankle wasn’t feeling as good as he had hoped.
Three games into his return from a high ankle sprain, the Devils winger decided to get some firsthand information about what he might expect. So one week ago, after a home game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Rolston talked with Sidney Crosby.
“I don’t know if his was the same as mine, but his was an ankle, too. It was good to get a player’s perspective,” Rolston said. “The first few games back, no question I felt it. I didn’t know what to expect, so I had a conversation with Sidney Crosby. He just said it’s going to be sore and you have to try to strengthen it and to keep taping it.”

He could have asked the Pens trainer, they dealt with 3 of them last season. The ONLY way to get over them is to take a lot of time off. Talbot and Crosby both came back too early and ended up getting hurt again. Fleury stayed out for ever, but when he came back, he was perfect. And by perfect I mean he still had a ton of pain but no more damage was being done. Ask any of those guys and they’ll tell you that they only finally felt better after having a whole off-season to recuperate.
