I mean that is what us Nova Scotians to do each other as best friends. You love em as much as you hate em, and you don’t shy away from expressing both😂 it’s always all love regardless.
@Jontismfor sure made Brad a good player. That is a formative moment watching someone special like that. Obviously Brad had it in him too. No denying his talent in that little chirpy body.
My favourite story was told by Rikard Rakell recently. He said he once noticed a shirt Crosby had and said “that looks cozy”. Next day the exact same shirt was hanging on Rakell’s spot because Crosby had purchased one for him.
Sid gets it. Sid knows who he is in the world. He understands that for him it might be one picture or a quick conversation, but for others it can be a highlight of their life. Sid is all class.
@MK-ji9ke He and Giroux eventually buried the hatchet after playing at Worlds together. Giroux didn't know him very well off the ice before that point, but afterward he said (in French, of course) that he was a great guy.
Brandon Dubinsky I believe is the only player I haven’t heard come around on Sidney Crosby. And that dork Frank Seravalli had some nonsense to say a few years back. Other than that, pretty perfect marks for Sid. And honestly, Dubinsky was a total douchebag haha
@EtopiaCA ya meaning same team. Wilson has been such a massive part of the rivalry with Pittsburgh, then gets to play with Sid lol. He also plays with the Caps and Ovi night in night out. Such a unique circumstance because of what that Caps v Pens history has been. Then add in a layer with 2 of the best players to ever lace them up, generational freaks who have been pitted against one another since they entered the league. I was trying to think of another player in Wilson's situation, but I dont really think we have seen such a tense rivalry between two legends like that for such a sustained amount of time.
When Marty St Louis's mom died, Crosby took time to talk to him before the game. that's one classy move only a true positive leader can do. we sure need to appreciate it, times fly-by fast.
It seriously feels like yesterday I was watching in 2014 wondering if Sid was going to be stuck at one Cup. Thank God he got those two more and cemented himself as a legend. Time absolutely flies by.
It’s because he’s spoken extensively about how he feels about Crosby, and what he’s meant to mcdavid growing up and for his career. It would be mundane to repeat the same answers hes already given
McD can’t get a break. He’s not a verbal guy, he shows it in his play on the ice. I’m very lucky to be in Edmonton watching him every night. He’s as passionate as it gets and an absolute workhorse and we absolutely love him.
@robinpowers3602did you watch his interview McDavid did with his brother? You can see more of his actual personality shine and it shows more of his human side. Dudes only cared about hockey since 3 and hyper focuses on it so he probably doesn’t have the best social skills. He wasn’t making friends and partying he was just training all his life so I get it. But with his brother you can see there’s more of a bond there so his social side comes out a little more
@r@robinpowers3602don’t think he is. he understands the hype and expectations he has at this point. he’s eloquent and confident in himself (as he should be) but you can see he respects who he idolized. mcdavid is mcdavid and im sure were excited to see where he takes it - but crosby will always be. he’s incredible and will be the blueprint for the future.
A tear will be shed across all who grew up watching him and followed his journey, watched his success, and witnessed his resolve. Easiest Hall of Famer and hockey legend that the whole NHL hockey community will come to celebrate and honor him
Crosby, McDavid, and Celebrini. 3 generations of the greatest players of my lifetime to date. So happy to see them on the same team. Most likely the only time we will see it
You lucky mf. I don't live in Cole Harbour, but I'm only a 10-15 minute drive away. The closest I've ever gotten to meeting him was watching him practice at CHP.
A few years back when Letang's father passed, Crosby and some other leaders (former HC Mike Sullivan) decided to change travel plans and fly from Arizona to Montreal so they could attend the funeral. It wasn't easy logistically (took a 4am flight) and it would have otherwise been a day off after a road game (a west coast trip), but Crosby wanted to make sure they all went to support Letang in a hard time. Story after story always ends the same way: Sid's just an awesome human.
The thing Marner said is really similar to something Rutger McGroarty said about Sid last year. I.e., the common advice is "Don't meet your heroes," but Sid is one of the rare heroes actually worth meeting. The fact of the matter is that the skills it takes to be a top athlete/celebrity don't always line up with the qualities that make someone a good person, so it's rare to come across somebody who is both.
Got to drink beers with him at my golf course just me him and another co worker and we just chatted about fishing and golf just a good Friggen dude man so humble
Being from Calgary and getting the chance to see Jarome Iginla, he made me love and support the Flames. But, Sidney Crosby made me love and admire hockey and really fall in love with the game. As a young kid seeing your two favorite players playing the game you love is just the best!
My favorite moment of Sid was during the 2014 playoffs when pits was playing rangers, and sid found st.Louis on the bike pregame and sid gave his condolences to Marty after recently losing his mother and chatted for a bit. A great person. I cant imagine how proud his parents are that they raised such a good hockey player, but an even better person.
Just after his first Stanley Cup win, when he brought the Cup back to Halifax, he did the rounds at the IWK Children’s Hospital. We have a pic of him holding my Brother’s 2 month old son, who needed heart surgery, with my brother and a couple of nephews. I wasn’t there, my brother said he was fantastic with the boys, very respectful to everyone - he was exactly what you would hope he would be.
Penguins fan here. People always get annoyed at me for rooting for Canada over the US in hockey. They’re my top two favorite teams, but it’s hockey. I’m not rooting against Sid. Ever. Ever. My taxes aren’t being affected by the game hahaha. Oooooooo Canadaaaaaaa!
My dog is named Crosby. Basically everybody in my life knows that the pens and Crosby specifically are a foremost passion and interest. What I don't think many of them realize is I named my dog after him for exactly zero reasons pertaining to hockey accolades or the penguins. I just love how the dude treats other people. These days, it's so rare for someone so gifted and idolized to be as humble and sincere as he is. Kudos to his parents and the support system he had growing up.
Man these Olympics are ending in tears for me regardless of the outcome. So blessed to have been able to watch Crosby, I know every hockey fan right now isn't gonna be shutting up about Sid for years to come
1:40 Someone hug Drew Doughty for me. His eyes seem sad like maybe he knows his career is near the end. Or maybe depression? He is a good soul and a workhorse. I pray that he is just tired
Legend !! So much could be said as a fan from Pittsburgh. helping to save the franchise, the 3 cups, his impact on the league, what he does for the our community and hockey community around the world. In short tho, We are cheering for him and Canada !!
stopped playing hockey from an abundant amount of cuncussions before 15, grew up a pittsburgh sports fan but when we got crosby, I remember that moment and just getting into playing hockey at the age of 6. Sid was my motivation and idol and honestly im so glad to have an idol as a child who seems to be genuinely the nicest and most down to earth person. We need more stars in sports like Sidney Crosby!
I get emotional watching this. Sid is by far my favorite player of all time. I am a huge Habs fan, whenever he plays them, both teams winning makes me happy (unless it is the playoffs). A gentleman and a class act!.
Sid will be the hero for generations of NHLers. They grew up watching Crossby and kids will grow up watching him. They might surpass his records but no one will have as much impact.
I catered Sidney’s induction into the NS hall of fame in summer of 2018. I just moved to the city, (halifax) just got myself signed up with some jobs to cater. Lo and behold the first job I’m offered is a catering job at the halifax trade and convention center. I took it and found out it’s not only Sidney Crosby but 10 Nova Scotians including al McNeil and some others who’s passed. His speech was extremely classy, very slow and calm to the point you’d think he was concussed 😂 he was nothing but smiles the entire event and never shies away from people trying to speak to him. Made me very proud to be represented by a super athlete and a superhuman that is Sidney Crosby. EDIT: WAS ALSO VERY DIFFICUKT DOING MY NEW JOB WITH SIDNEY CROSBY AND MANY OTHER LEGENDS IN THE ROOM THE ENTIRE TIME🤣
Who doesn't love Sidney Crosby? From an American, he seems like the quintessential Canadian. You are our best friends, no matter what idiocy is happening now.
I first saw him when he was 11 or 12 in Charlottetown, PE, at Andrew’s Hockey School. I couldn’t believe this guy was a kid, he was amazing then, and now.
Boy doesn't just say hello to family members of other and goes away. He stands there for 10-15 mins. That's respecting parents. And THAT is how he has earned my respect.
Got to be there for his come back from concussion goal against the islanders by purchasing tickets months before. On cloud 9 those few days before the game after they announced that that was the day he was coming back. He scored that goal right on the side that I was at in the first period and I’ll never forget standing up and screaming as loud as I can almost to the point of passing out. That was just such a cool hopeful night after seeing him miss all that time. Goosebumps typing this! I still have my welcome back Sid sign that they gave us as it does my brother. Absolutely amazing
I was there too. That arena got so damn loud when he came out for the first period that I had hearing trouble the next day at school. 100% worth it though
I remember watching Pittsburgh get the lotto ball and knowing life was about to get much better in Pittsburgh.. .. . . Mario was Mario but having sid was a great feeling that hockey was going to stay in our city.
As a Flyer's fan, I have many nightmares about Sid.😂 Like him or not, he is a class act and one of the best to ever play the game. He would have been cool if he had played in PHILLY 😂
I remember growing up as a Canadian who eventually started playing hockey. I wasn't even born yet when Sid got drafted but I started to watch the Pens games and highlights to see him play. Eventually I fell out of love with hockey and stopped following it/playing. Just now as a 20 year old I am getting back into hockey. Unbelievable how he is still dominating. I'm watching nostalgia unfold in front of my eyes.
Coming back from the injuries. Grinding every shift like Colby said as if theres another better league beyond the NHL or Olympics hes auditioning for. Sticking with the same team his entire career and appreciating the fans and city the way he does. Greatest ambassador for the sport. 🎉❤
In 2004 Sid played for Rimouski in the QMJHL. I managed a new and fledgling Puckmasters franchise in Charlottetown PEI. He and a teammate came by and played around on the surface for a while. The place was packed. When the facility had emptied, with Sid gone of course, twenty minutes later he returned, sought me out, shook my hand and thanked me for allowing him and his buddy to have use of the arena. A class act, even at that young age.
I lived in faribault Minnesota where famous shattucks saint Mary is and just happen to meet this guy and 2 years later just happened to meet cris Carter and Larry Fitzgerald.
As an American who grew up a Caps/Coyotes fan, I have nothing but respect for Sid. Such an amazing person and player. The way he’d take down the Caps in the playoffs and that 2010 gold medal game.. was blessed to be able to watch that. Got to see him and Ovi have dueling hattrick in a playoff game live. Unforgettable
Love Sid. As an American, it's very hard for me to root for USA when both Tkachuks are playing for us. Ugh. Also, my favorite players are on team Canada.
It’s hockey. Not an election. Root for the players you like. And there’s no country on Earth that loves hockey more than Canada. They deserve to win. I’m American and rooting for Sid and the boys.
It's been a treat to have been born the same year as sid, and to get to watch his entire legendary career knowing he's just a guy my age(Slightly younger) just making top level pros look stupid on the ice. To get to watch it start to finish, and to see the grace and humility he always played it with was something very special. Easily amongst the best players to ever take the ice. He made my leafs look foolish many many times, but I could never dislike him for doing it
marchy finding a way to chirp him and at the same time praise him is so marchy
And his first memory is watching him at 11 because his dad wanted him to learn from him! Crazy how far they’ve come now
if he can find his way to leverage his nose in this tourney, we're a shoe in to win it all. maybe blocking shots or something.
I mean that is what us Nova Scotians to do each other as best friends. You love em as much as you hate em, and you don’t shy away from expressing both😂 it’s always all love regardless.
Rat
@Jontismfor sure made Brad a good player. That is a formative moment watching someone special like that. Obviously Brad had it in him too. No denying his talent in that little chirpy body.
My favourite story was told by Rikard Rakell recently. He said he once noticed a shirt Crosby had and said “that looks cozy”.
Next day the exact same shirt was hanging on Rakell’s spot because Crosby had purchased one for him.
I want to like this comment but it's at 87
@shaynab76get this lad to 87 and STOP it
Sid gets it. Sid knows who he is in the world. He understands that for him it might be one picture or a quick conversation, but for others it can be a highlight of their life. Sid is all class.
Flower is the same. Good group in those years.
Nobody has a single bad thing to say about him. Pure class, the perfect guy to represent Canada
That's because no one asked Giroux!
@MK-ji9keyou mean Methot?
@MK-ji9ke He and Giroux eventually buried the hatchet after playing at Worlds together. Giroux didn't know him very well off the ice before that point, but afterward he said (in French, of course) that he was a great guy.
Brandon Dubinsky I believe is the only player I haven’t heard come around on Sidney Crosby. And that dork Frank Seravalli had some nonsense to say a few years back. Other than that, pretty perfect marks for Sid. And honestly, Dubinsky was a total douchebag haha
Sean Avery could probably think of something bad to say. But Sean is also a sociopath.
Shits got me bricked and crying at the same time
if u need any help unbricking lmk, I wanna be kind like sid:)
Fr
@Zn0morphh 😝
@Dylligraphy😭
Gonna explode like Vancouver in 2010
Marchand saying Sid is 58 😂
The man couldn’t say all that nice stuff without throwing that at the end 😂😂
Perfect. Pretty sure Sid got another Olympic goal before Marchy today too. Brad bowed down plenty though. He's a great guy.
he's talking about his point total. Sid has 59 on the season.
With a straight face too. Minor smirk, but mostly kept it together.
They're only 1 year different 😂
I love how Sid will be remembered as both an amazing hockey player AND human.
Jarvis's favorite story is about his buddies meeting Crosby. What an absolute beauty he is.
Tom Wilson probably has the wildest perspective playing with Ovi and Sid. Then also being such a major part of that rivalry.
I agree. Thought he had a good response
I was confused at first because all these players have played with both Sid and Ovi, but I'm guessing you meant simultaneously. Good point.
@EtopiaCA ya meaning same team. Wilson has been such a massive part of the rivalry with Pittsburgh, then gets to play with Sid lol. He also plays with the Caps and Ovi night in night out. Such a unique circumstance because of what that Caps v Pens history has been. Then add in a layer with 2 of the best players to ever lace them up, generational freaks who have been pitted against one another since they entered the league. I was trying to think of another player in Wilson's situation, but I dont really think we have seen such a tense rivalry between two legends like that for such a sustained amount of time.
Oh Captain, My Captain!
Crosby for Prime Minister
Ohh, my Sidney, my handsome Sidney, Patrick Swayze, you were so fucking sexy in Roadhouse, and fucking Dirty Dancing.
Crosby is your favourite players favourite player. The elite of the elite. Most complete player of all time
Well said.
absolutely.
Macklin's story is so stinking cute!! I can just picture a tiny mack giggling looking at sidcros lol.
Macklin is such a joy. His giggliness and constant smiles are just so fun to see in such an elite athlete, as they are all usually so stoic.
@tluvsbeauty1I love to become a fan of his in the future. It's pretty amazing watching him lead the transformation of the sharks.
When Marty St Louis's mom died, Crosby took time to talk to him before the game. that's one classy move only a true positive leader can do. we sure need to appreciate it, times fly-by fast.
It seriously feels like yesterday I was watching in 2014 wondering if Sid was going to be stuck at one Cup. Thank God he got those two more and cemented himself as a legend. Time absolutely flies by.
He's just a good person.
Sid embodies what it means to be Nova Scotian. He’s the best of us.
🇨🇦🥅
Captain Canada for a reason. NHL will not be the same without Crosby
Mcdavid with the postgame interview response 😭
Lolllll yes that was all I could think. So dead inside.
I wanna like him. The dumbass can skate but he might be weirder than a goalie.
It’s because he’s spoken extensively about how he feels about Crosby, and what he’s meant to mcdavid growing up and for his career. It would be mundane to repeat the same answers hes already given
McD can’t get a break. He’s not a verbal guy, he shows it in his play on the ice. I’m very lucky to be in Edmonton watching him every night. He’s as passionate as it gets and an absolute workhorse and we absolutely love him.

Sid the Kid will always have a place in my heart.
I'll never tire of the Sidney Crosby glaze
He deserves every bit of it. The world celebrates monsters that hurt ppl so let's give a good guy his 💐
I could listen to a 3 hour version of this video and not get bored
Stories like this really show that Crosby really is an amazing ambassator to the game of hockey, and the perfect person to captain this team.
Sidney Crosby may be the most respected captain in hockey history.
Along with Jean Beliveau. Probably before your time, but he was also pure class.
I'll be bawling my eyes out once he decides to put the stick down!
It’s going to be surreal
A tear will be shed across all who grew up watching him and followed his journey, watched his success, and witnessed his resolve. Easiest Hall of Famer and hockey legend that the whole NHL hockey community will come to celebrate and honor him
Humility. He doesn’t hype himself. He supports others. He has taught so many how to carry themselves with Godly reverence and respect for others
Sid is the man. Gotta love him
Sid seems to be extremely respected by everyone. That speaks for itself
🇨🇦Captain Canada 🇨🇦 Leafs fan who loves sid here
Crosby, McDavid, and Celebrini. 3 generations of the greatest players of my lifetime to date. So happy to see them on the same team. Most likely the only time we will see it
I live near him in NS, ran into him at a farmers market one day and got to say hi, shake his hand, and have a quick chat. Legend.
Wilsons I bet ?
He lives in Sewickley when the season is going. It’s nice seeing him around town. Nobody really bothers him. He’s a good person.
@kenputer56Withrows Market
You lucky mf. I don't live in Cole Harbour, but I'm only a 10-15 minute drive away. The closest I've ever gotten to meeting him was watching him practice at CHP.
A few years back when Letang's father passed, Crosby and some other leaders (former HC Mike Sullivan) decided to change travel plans and fly from Arizona to Montreal so they could attend the funeral.

Story after story always ends the same way: Sid's just an awesome human.
The thing Marner said is really similar to something Rutger McGroarty said about Sid last year.

The fact of the matter is that the skills it takes to be a top athlete/celebrity don't always line up with the qualities that make someone a good person, so it's rare to come across somebody who is both.
I like to think it is Syd who typifies the Canadian psyche and not certain players on the men’s curling team.
Got to drink beers with him at my golf course just me him and another co worker and we just chatted about fishing and golf just a good Friggen dude man so humble
10 year old vs. 12-13 year olds. 5 goals and 1 assist in a 6-1 game. Pretty good.
Being from Calgary and getting the chance to see Jarome Iginla, he made me love and support the Flames. But, Sidney Crosby made me love and admire hockey and really fall in love with the game. As a young kid seeing your two favorite players playing the game you love is just the best!
My favorite moment of Sid was during the 2014 playoffs when pits was playing rangers, and sid found st.Louis on the bike pregame and sid gave his condolences to Marty after recently losing his mother and chatted for a bit.

Great story from Marner, very genuine heartfelt. I feel so proud that Crosby is Canadian.
and suddenly im rooting for Canada, as an American. dammit Sid.
I’m an American who roots for Sidney Crosby-led hockey teams. He’s got my hockey vote.
Penguins fan here. People always get annoyed at me for rooting for Canada over the US in hockey. They’re my top two favorite teams, but it’s hockey. I’m not rooting against Sid. Ever. Ever. My taxes aren’t being affected by the game hahaha.
Oooooooo Canadaaaaaaa!
You can be an honorary Canadian bud, as long as I get to be an honorary American. Bloody love you guys, may the best team win.
@Smakbab9069 any American who shares the love for the sport and Crosby is always good in my books and an honorary Canadian
My dog is named Crosby. Basically everybody in my life knows that the pens and Crosby specifically are a foremost passion and interest. What I don't think many of them realize is I named my dog after him for exactly zero reasons pertaining to hockey accolades or the penguins. I just love how the dude treats other people. These days, it's so rare for someone so gifted and idolized to be as humble and sincere as he is. Kudos to his parents and the support system he had growing up.
My cat is named Sidney, after Sid lol
The Marner story got me.
Man these Olympics are ending in tears for me regardless of the outcome. So blessed to have been able to watch Crosby, I know every hockey fan right now isn't gonna be shutting up about Sid for years to come
Best sport in the world. It's hard to argue that Sid isn't still the best all-around, most complete player in the game.
The true GOAT of hockey
Making me emotional. Go get that 3rd gold Sid. All of Canada is behind you.
1:40 Someone hug Drew Doughty for me. His eyes seem sad like maybe he knows his career is near the end. Or maybe depression? He is a good soul and a workhorse. I pray that he is just tired
This is all emotional for him
Legend !!
So much could be said as a fan from Pittsburgh.
helping to save the franchise, the 3 cups, his impact on the league, what he does for the our community and hockey community around the world.
In short tho, We are cheering for him and Canada !!
The goat on and off the ice!
Living in Edmonton, I've heard stories of him stopping by the side of the road talking with random kids. I hope to just say hi to him one day.
They should have asked Nate as well!
Yin'zer jagoff here rooting for Canada because of my boy Sid
Bro, these fine Canadians might have no clue what a Yinzer Jagoff is, but I hear ya; we love some Sid.
@kidglort3781😂😂😂
I wanna be a yinzer jagoff. Beautiful friggin City.
@GoodGlavindefinitely a hidden gem and you are welcome anytime
@kidglort3781"Pittsburgh'er"
stopped playing hockey from an abundant amount of cuncussions before 15, grew up a pittsburgh sports fan but when we got crosby, I remember that moment and just getting into playing hockey at the age of 6. Sid was my motivation and idol and honestly im so glad to have an idol as a child who seems to be genuinely the nicest and most down to earth person. We need more stars in sports like Sidney Crosby!
Concussions me and you both guy but big facts^
I get emotional watching this. Sid is by far my favorite player of all time. I am a huge Habs fan, whenever he plays them, both teams winning makes me happy (unless it is the playoffs). A gentleman and a class act!.
When I think of Sid I think of a true Nova Scotian showing the world what class is
Wore 87 my whole career because of him. Special player and peak human. 87 forever.
Gift of a player. Gift of a human. There'll never be anyone quite like him again.
It would be epic to see him end his career with 1 more cup. Sids last dance
Traveled from Chicago to Pittsburgh for a game and it was amazing, especially the energy when he scored.
Sidney Crosby.👍🏽👍🏽
Sid will be the hero for generations of NHLers. They grew up watching Crossby and kids will grow up watching him. They might surpass his records but no one will have as much impact.
I'm a Winnipeg Jets fan, born and raised, and I STILL have Sid's jersey hanging on my wall
Marchand has some wild eyebrows
I can't stop noticing them now lol
You deserve to be proud of him, Canada. He’d be a legend in any country.
Sid is what we thought Wayne was.
TDS
Don't nickel and dime the great one. He's never been anything but a class act, just like Sid
@settledown5392Wayne is a MAGA traitor
JFC, Wayne is and always will be the great one. I guess you will hate Sid too if he has a different opinion than you also.
@Liquidsemtex The only TDS is what him and his supporters have…
We all love Sidney❤
This video is so beautiful. Sidney Crosby means so much to me and this country. Win or lose we will always love you Sid
It's been an honor to live in Pittsburgh for a couple of decades getting to watch Mario Lemieux and then Sidney Crosby!!
Cried like a baby because I love him so much. Thanks for uploading❤
I catered Sidney’s induction into the NS hall of fame in summer of 2018. I just moved to the city, (halifax) just got myself signed up with some jobs to cater. Lo and behold the first job I’m offered is a catering job at the halifax trade and convention center. I took it and found out it’s not only Sidney Crosby but 10 Nova Scotians including al McNeil and some others who’s passed.

Made me very proud to be represented by a super athlete and a superhuman that is Sidney Crosby.
EDIT: WAS ALSO VERY DIFFICUKT DOING MY NEW JOB WITH SIDNEY CROSBY AND MANY OTHER LEGENDS IN THE ROOM THE ENTIRE TIME🤣
sid will always have a great hear , love him
Whoever your team is it’s easy to love Sid. ❤
Who doesn't love Sidney Crosby? From an American, he seems like the quintessential Canadian. You are our best friends, no matter what idiocy is happening now.
Good to know Americans like you still exist❤
From a Canadian, thank you for saying that! I love our friends to the south.
Very refreshing to hear that sentiment from an American, cheers to you brother
What idiocy is happening now?
Awwwww, how wholesome. 🥰
Cheers, bud!
I first saw him when he was 11 or 12 in Charlottetown, PE, at Andrew’s Hockey School. I couldn’t believe this guy was a kid, he was amazing then, and now.
Boy doesn't just say hello to family members of other and goes away. He stands there for 10-15 mins. That's respecting parents. And THAT is how he has earned my respect.
Captain Canada 🇨🇦 we love Sid
I think the best part of Sid is how good of a person he is. That's what makes him so cool
Im 43 and a Pittsburgher I've seen the greatest play this game. Love this game!
Got to be there for his come back from concussion goal against the islanders by purchasing tickets months before.
On cloud 9 those few days before the game after they announced that that was the day he was coming back.
He scored that goal right on the side that I was at in the first period and I’ll never forget standing up and screaming as loud as I can almost to the point of passing out. That was just such a cool hopeful night after seeing him miss all that time. Goosebumps typing this!
I still have my welcome back Sid sign that they gave us as it does my brother. Absolutely amazing
I was there too. That arena got so damn loud when he came out for the first period that I had hearing trouble the next day at school. 100% worth it though
I remember watching Pittsburgh get the lotto ball and knowing life was about to get much better in Pittsburgh.. .. . . Mario was Mario but having sid was a great feeling that hockey was going to stay in our city.
Man I love Sid he is amazing human this video made me tear up abit
I loved this. god bless Sidney Crosby
I remember his shootout goal against Montreal. Every kid on my team was throwing the leg pump any chance they got in practice haha
One of the best Canadians in our history
Crosby complete class. HE will always be Sid the Kid to me
Been a Pittsburgh local and fan all of my life. Been a journey having this man on our team and being devoted to the penguins
what an absolute legend
As a Flyer's fan, I have many nightmares about Sid.😂 Like him or not, he is a class act and one of the best to ever play the game. He would have been cool if he had played in PHILLY 😂
As a Canadian, I'm crying 🥹😭
Wow, just wow
Great, great player and even a greater human being. So blessed that he's a Penguin
I remember growing up as a Canadian who eventually started playing hockey. I wasn't even born yet when Sid got drafted but I started to watch the Pens games and highlights to see him play. Eventually I fell out of love with hockey and stopped following it/playing. Just now as a 20 year old I am getting back into hockey. Unbelievable how he is still dominating. I'm watching nostalgia unfold in front of my eyes.
So wholesome.
Coming back from the injuries. Grinding every shift like Colby said as if theres another better league beyond the NHL or Olympics hes auditioning for. Sticking with the same team his entire career and appreciating the fans and city the way he does. Greatest ambassador for the sport. 🎉❤
I love my fellow Nova Scotian. He's the bestest guy ever. Nathan is really nice too, I got to meet him at the local golf course a few yrs ago.
Oh, Marchy is nice too. I saw him at our local drug store and he was wearing camo pants haha
"He's maybe 58 now" 🤣
In 2004 Sid played for Rimouski in the QMJHL. I managed a new and fledgling Puckmasters franchise in Charlottetown PEI. He and a teammate came by and played around on the surface for a while. The place was packed. When the facility had emptied, with Sid gone of course, twenty minutes later he returned, sought me out, shook my hand and thanked me for allowing him and his buddy to have use of the arena. A class act, even at that young age.
I lived in faribault Minnesota where famous shattucks saint Mary is and just happen to meet this guy and 2 years later just happened to meet cris Carter and Larry Fitzgerald.
As an American who grew up a Caps/Coyotes fan, I have nothing but respect for Sid. Such an amazing person and player. The way he’d take down the Caps in the playoffs and that 2010 gold medal game.. was blessed to be able to watch that. Got to see him and Ovi have dueling hattrick in a playoff game live. Unforgettable

Love Sid. As an American, it's very hard for me to root for USA when both Tkachuks are playing for us. Ugh. Also, my favorite players are on team Canada.
It’s hockey. Not an election. Root for the players you like. And there’s no country on Earth that loves hockey more than Canada. They deserve to win. I’m American and rooting for Sid and the boys.
@chrisg7731 Me too!
Ironically, the Tkachuks mother is Canadian...
Perhaps you’d be happier living in Canada then
@vmaxx71100%. Especially in this current political climate here in the USA 😢
God hockey won't be the same when he retires.
Luckily he's shown the next 2 generations how its done
He's humble, kind and lovely. So many other GOATS from other sports could learn so much...Novak, this is for you. Humility is a beautiful thing❤.
It's been a treat to have been born the same year as sid, and to get to watch his entire legendary career knowing he's just a guy my age(Slightly younger) just making top level pros look stupid on the ice. To get to watch it start to finish, and to see the grace and humility he always played it with was something very special. Easily amongst the best players to ever take the ice. He made my leafs look foolish many many times, but I could never dislike him for doing it
