The hockey world was left with more questions than answers after Game 3 of the Penguins and Capitals series after Sidney Crosby left the game with a concussion.

It didn't take long, however, to get some answers, and the day after Game 3, Mike Sullivan said the Penguins' captain was in good spirits.

At that point, though, nobody could have imagined him missing just one game and returning for Game 5, but, as hockey fans found out Saturday night, that's exactly what happened.

The Penguins notified the hockey world on Twitter of Crosby's return in a very casual way.

Clearly it's just business as usual for the team and nothing more needs to be said other than welcome back Sid.

Once the hockey world found out the best player in the world would be playing in Game 5, they welcomed him back with open arms and gave Washington no chance to win.
