Sidney Crosby says he hasn't ruled out a return in time for this month's All-Star Game. Crosby has been out since Jan. 6 with a concussion. He also denied a report that claimed, according to a source, Crosby was fuming about the league's lack of progress in protecting its players, and possibly would withdraw from the Jan. 30 game in protest. "That's not even close [to accurate]," Crosby said Tuesday in Pittsburgh. " ... [I] still haven't ruled out being there. Hopefully, in the next few days things get better. There's a slight chance I can still be back for that. That's what I'm hoping. If I can be there, I'll be there."
