I'm glad to see more people appreciating Crosby as he gets older. I couldn't imagine having a spotlight on me at 18 and everything that went with that -- and captaining a team to the finals at 20, first cup at 21. People may not have liked his boring interviews but he probably didn't want to generate any more media attention than what he was already getting and just wanted to focus on the hockey. He's been everything in a player we could have hoped for.
I remember hearing about this unbelievable kid and then seeing him play in the World Juniors and from that first time I saw him he lived up to the hype. There was never an opportunity not to appreciate him.
I'm from Halifax. When he was in Pee Wee people were stealing his gloves from his bag because they knew he was going to be something. He's been under scrutiny since he was 12. But seems like he has been able to handle it well.

They jump the gun on a regular basis. I only watched this video to hear what Crosby had to say. I remember Sid said that the leafs would beat the bruins in game 7 this year and then after they lost he said Babcock would be fired and guess what... neither of those things happen. I think they try to get the fans going by being dramatic instead of logical.
I’m so happy to be a Pens fan and that we have one of the greatest players of all time. The Penguins have certainly been blessed with having 66, 68, 71 and 87.
Crosbys my favorite athlete because of how humble and down to earth he is. My favorite sport to watch used to be NBA but i cant stand to see those guys act sooo cocky and arrogant. Hockey is so different, guys are more down to earth, and if they have a problem with each other, they fight it out.
say what you want, Kessel was not the problem. the league catches up fast. Sometimes things happen in sports, but Kessel was used as a scape goat by the organization and media. they probably never get their 2 Cups without him. lets talk about it.....
Scapegoat? He was brought in to play with Crosby & could easily been a 40-50 goal scorer with him but Kessel refused to play with Crosby & then decided he was a play maker for some reason costing them many games including playoffs with cringe worthy play! If his head wasnt up his ass & did what was asked of him he would still be a Penguin! Phil does what he wants to do regardless of the players & coaches around him! A player like him has been traded 3 times think about that!
@@munn3446 Because when its your job to be a goal scorer & when you dont score in 20 strait games because your throwing the puck to the other team trying to be a play maker not listening to your coach it becomes a problem!
I have always hated Sid... I really don't even know why?!?! Maybe I was scared he would overtake Gretzky and Lemieux or hated that he seemed so calm and poised?!?! But this interview has changed my mind on him... Hope he plays till hes 40!!!
I grew up in Pittsburgh wanting to play and became a fan cuz I grew up with Mario an Sid is just as great as Mario by far my 2 favorite players ever and always. If you haven’t watched the Podcast they mentioned you need to it’s 1 hr and 20 mins and I was crying laughing and it kept me sitting there for the whole time not even knowing I just spent over a hr watching
I love both Mario and Sid as well. Sid is by far my favourite player today but I'm hesitant to say he's as great as Mario. Mario was just on another level... 690 goals in only 915 games.
I know sid may not have liked it but they should have gave him a huge intro , like record breaking goal leader mvp and multiple stankley cup champion & oly gold
@@carsonburroughs8214 maybe best goal sxorer, definitely not the best player. Mackinnon wouls be the only arguable player to currently best. And I'm an oilera fan
That Islander team. Also called Saskatchewan East, so many players from Western Canada ( I think 9). Would have won 5 in a row and 20 straight BO7 of not for the emergence of a hockey genius
I think crosby is motivated by no one but himself. He's writing his own legacy, he has no need to be motivated by an athlete who plays 16-20 games a year lmao
KESSEL IS THE ONLY GOAL SCORER THAT DOESNT NOT COACHING THEY USE TO get mad at him in TORONTO the coaching staff to change is way of playing HE IS ONE OF THE BEST VIVE THE USA
Kessel is great on the power play but not 5 on 5 and not defensively. The substitutes will do a better job 5 on 5 and defensively. If young players rise to contribute scoring, then the Pens may be stronger without Kessel.
Dad's Home I never said anything about height I just meant body size/weight. I pretty sure Tim and Sid were a little thinner in their early 30s. Plus Crosby leaning back in his chair whereas Tim and Sid are upright. Yeah I'm probably still wrong in some way but I'm pretty sure if you had them all in their early thirties they'd all be relatively the same size, not talking about height
As a fan of Sidney Crosby and the pens I don't want sid the kid to retire in 7 years from now because he is still really good and he still has a chance at winning the Stanley Cup if he keeps playing in the NHL because he is the best captain of the Penguins and I think that it would be good if he played until he would be in his late 40s 7 years from now Penguin fans don't want to see sid the kid at the end of his career because he is really good!!!
Crosby is an extremely likeable person. How the hell does the whole NHL boo him ?? By the way, trading Kessel, a MASSIVE mistake, especially for what they got ! A DISASTER. 244 Points in 3 Years. Major Gaff JR
@@sebastianschultz3107 - You sound like a member of the Rock band, Boston. Who is an "All Star Center" in Arizona ?? And, How does this help Pittsburgh. Kessel is like a perennial 30 HR, 90 RBI guy. EVERY Year. Just cannot be replaced.

That's why he is my favorite player of all time
He is, as they say, a Mensch.

The greatest player of our era. One of the greatest of all time.
Phil Kessel is truly an outstanding talent
"Was he a distraction in the locker room?"
Classic Maple Laughers, still on the bash Kessel train🤦♂️
7 more years of the goat
You know what's funny the end of the day I think he's going to replace Mario Lemieux has the greatest penguin of all time
@Billy Conforto Different era but you cant compare the goats, lol just saying those 2 are the best in franchise history is enough.
@@daniellee7355 I know its a joke but like damn atleast wait until buddy has a 100 point season before saying this jokes lol.

Mario is a legend
so well spoken he knows just what to say and how to say it
Always so humbled. The best
You don’t deserve to sit next to his greatness after you declared he was finished right before he led his team to back to back stanley cups.
I have always hated Sid... I really don't even know why?!?! Maybe I was scared he would overtake Gretzky and Lemieux or hated that he seemed so calm and poised?!?! But this interview has changed my mind on him... Hope he plays till hes 40!!!
Watch his spittin chiclets you'll roll and it's so real and casual
#87 favorite player. Such a good skater and speed is definitely a big part of today's game.
Sidney Crosby is a class act .
Phil is a legend. I know this has to be hard for each and every penguins player. All of you guys are a bunch of squids, and I wish the best for you.
Pens fan from madison... I knew it was coming but it still crushed me :(
I like the player smile, he’s smile is amazing
top comment. top wholesome comment.

The only people who hate on Crosby are scrubs . Literally even if I wasn’t a pens fan no reason to hate the guy besides jealousy
I don't hate him but he is a whining diver so I can understand why some rival fans do.
Only 2 Time CHL Player of the Year. SID!!!!!! :)
7:32 That's nuts.
A total class act
Definitely think Crosby is motivated by seeing Brady win Super Bowls in his 40's and my guess is he will play into his early 40's health permitting.
I think crosby is motivated by no one but himself. He's writing his own legacy, he has no need to be motivated by an athlete who plays 16-20 games a year lmao
And only onve a week at that hahahahaha. The nfl is a joke
Brady doesn't play defense and it takes him 3 games to win a superbowl
football teams need to play more than once a week IMO
One of the best player in the hockey world
Just class.
Love him. The goat ❤️🇨🇦🔥

Can you English?
Trying to read your comment cost me brain cells
Bottom Line Boys :
Penguins are a WEAKER team without Phil Kessel. No reasonable person can argue that.
Kessel is great on the power play but not 5 on 5 and not defensively. The substitutes will do a better job 5 on 5 and defensively. If young players rise to contribute scoring, then the Pens may be stronger without Kessel.
Seven Flyers fans with thumbs down lol...

In Isles series, give credit to Trotz, he is a Penguin-slayer! Without Trotz, this would not happen.
Penguin slayer? Pens beat him twice in a row before too though, if anything just a good defensive coach something the pens don't play lol
Penguin slayer is much...but yes hes deserves most of the credit
remember that time trotz lost to the pens two years in a row in the playoffs while having home ice advantage. quite a penguins slayer.
The only reason they got crosby on was so that they could read in the comments for the very first time "Sid seems like a decent down to earth guy".
Are Tim and Sid giants? Look how big those guys are compared to The Kid.
Crosby is leaving back whereas Tim is leaning forward
Tyler Pinto ? Do you think people continue to grow indefinitely lol
Bhutchin09 I meant they probably aren't tying to stay lean and in shape compared to sid Crosby
