As a die hard flyers fan, same goes for me. We're all lucky to have watched his entire career. Same to ovi. Couldn't ask for a better player to boo lol. Seriously, when he retires, the league will be worse for it.
Excited to see how Reilly Smith plays in Pittsburgh. He’s a really great player and was a big part of our great regular season and playoff success recently and throughout the first 6 years of our existence. We love him here . Take care of him Penguins fans!
I hope Crosby can maybe pull another two 100 point seasons or get over 200 more points. That would put him in the top 10 all time points leaders. What an achievement that would be especially playing in the low scoring eras
Don’t forget he had a 24 game point streak or something insane like that before he went out with a concussion. He missed out on a massive amount of points during that time off, during his best years
Not used to seeing the grey hairs on Crosby. Gotta enjoy of what's left of his playing career. He's among the best NHL players I've ever seen for the last eighteen years.
I legit got goose bumps when Sid started talking playing best-on-best. What a shame it has been, and will be if our generation never gets to see Crosby, MacKinnon and McDavid together on a line.
Sid has seen such a transition in the game over the span of his career. His answer to the last question about player confusion is such a spot on response. When he joined the league people were still able to headhunt and you still had enforcement, now players have to think and second guessing plays a role in their decisions on the ice. The tables have turned quite a bit.
He’s the best ever. I’m his number one fan. The preseason game is here in Halifax this year I’m so sad I didn’t have tickets but I’ll be sitting outside supporting my number one player with my 87 jersey on. Ps. I’m a leaf fan but no one compares to Sid.
Guy's such a beauty. Works his ass off, has made countless linemates better and has taken less $$ to do it. Humble, driven and courteous. First ballot HOF. I don't even like Pittsburgh. Don't hate em but don't care for em that much. Hats off to 87.
The more I watch Sid become a man the more I think he will never actually coach in the NHL. He may hand pick a team for Canada every now and then but my gut says he will dedicate his life to the youth. I hope to be able to see him play before he retires.
I heard him say it around this time last year and he seemed confident when saying it. I bet you he retires summer 2025 bd when he does ratings will dip because he is the face of the league
Jagr is still way more talented with better counting stats to boot. I would say the talent level isent even close as a lifelong Pens fan. Jagr was a one man army, Sid is an elite grinder. I can’t stand the comparisons to be honest. #2 behind Mario for sure.
No. Even if this rumor is true, he and the Pens (who I believe he will work with after he retires) are so private and image obsessed it would never happen.
I would love to see Crosby traded to Avalanche in his last years to see him play with Mackinnon and have a real chance to win one more time.. but probably not going to happen and I’m not betting on pens winning anytime soon
Too many better teams that have way better tandems than Sid and Malkin entering the beginning of the end of their careers. I cant blame them for trying but imagine the picks and prospects they could get for Sid Malkin and Lentang, and how that could kick off a rebuild.
Nah, 176 points between the two of them last year. I think they have a chance still. Maybe not a big one, but you don't trade players that have brought your city 3 stanley cups. Ya, that's right..3!!!
They’d get something similar / marginally better at best than what they just gave up for Karlsson, while pissing off the entire fan base in the process. They’ll bottom out in 3-5 years and have a full rebuild they’ll need to go through.
@@husg13 For sure, you can definitely make a case to keep trying but a combined 174 is that special in today's NHL. Scoring has gone up and now the top players are scoring 120++. I don't know too much about the Penguins but they better be getting astounding secondary scoring to have a chance.
@@chillsavage Yeah I get it, and it's what every other GM in the league would do. You would get a better return than that though, and you would still have those pieces because you wouldn't have gone out and got Karlson. I guess my point is, if you see the team bottoming out in three years with very little chance of winning another cup, then why wait?
@@Kravmagagod two players on the same historic power play are putting up 120+. Anything above a ppg is still elite and Crosby was playing above 100 point for 75%+ of the season last year.
If Kyle wins sid another cup I will take back what I say about Kyle and the Eric K trade if Kyle wins the pens cup I will laught to Kyle show what you got
Not how that works though. You could make "perfect" trades or acquisitions and still fail to win it all. Just look at Boston. They crushed everyone yet failed. That's how hockey is sometimes.
Lmfao I love how it's the "new look penguins" when the only major change on the ice is Eric Karlsson who'll be out injured before Shittsburgh can say the words "Metropolitan Division"
Gotta be tough for Sid... touted as a generational talent, then 10 years later McDavid comes along and re-invents how skating and stickhandling works. It's like training your whole life to be a chimney sweep... then people start using electric fireplaces. wtfff
What? All these younger high skill players are so obviously influenced by Crosby, from wanting to be him when they were younger, that you could say he's one of the top few most influential players in history. There is a very clear delineation from before Crosby, Crosby, and then the players after him all incorporating certain things in their playing and skating that they obviously got from him. Then there's the rings. No matter what, Crosby is solidified in the highest tier of players with only a few other names - it's starting to look like Mcdavid may not have a chance to catch him in overall greatness.
It's gotta be tough for McDavid. Come into the league in the shadow of the most successful athlete and utterly pale in comparison when it counts the most. Also, Crosby is outscoring McDavid...at 36 years old.
One day Sid will hang up his skates and the hockey world will miss him. As a die hard pens fan since 1990, it’s been a privilege to watch his career
As a die hard flyers fan, same goes for me. We're all lucky to have watched his entire career. Same to ovi. Couldn't ask for a better player to boo lol. Seriously, when he retires, the league will be worse for it.
Ovi + Sid era is legendary. Will be sad when they’re gone.
100% agree.
87 is hands-down the better player, though. I don't understand the criticism he still gets after all of this time.
@@jmarx3943 Sid vs Giroux will be the hockey moment i loved the most saying... this as a Duck fan
@@fefloria yeah back when my flyers were relevant, the flyers vs pens games were some of the wildest I've ever seen. Truly entertaining.
How could you hate this guy, class act
I know man. Don't get it.
Sid's articulate, intelligent even tempered and a nice guy. It's no wonder Philly fans don't like him.

@@unknownassociate2490 With no injuries he’d already be at 1700 points for sure
People always put up Crosby and Ovi stats to show how similar they are
They never add that Crosby has 150 less games played
He only needs 89 points this season to pass Esposito for 10th all time in points.
Top 7 all time already
Not used to seeing the grey hairs on Crosby. Gotta enjoy of what's left of his playing career. He's among the best NHL players I've ever seen for the last eighteen years.
He's turning into a silver fox 😂
I legit got goose bumps when Sid started talking playing best-on-best. What a shame it has been, and will be if our generation never gets to see Crosby, MacKinnon and McDavid together on a line.
Add in Bedard and Makar
Has to be the best 5 players ever combined on a line
Gary Bettman. Let the boys play for their countries
@@StonedSpagooter Jumping the gun on Bedard there...let's see how it plays out.
why would they play 3 centers on the same line ?
Sidney Crosby”the golden goal!!!! 🇨🇦
Everytime I watch pittsburgh, I´m struck on how good Rust is.. .and no one EVER mention him. He must be the most underrated guy in NHL
I’m really hoping for Crosby mackinnon and mcdavid team up for Canada
Bedard too.
Playoffs or no playoffs, I’m just lucky to have seen this guy win championships and trophies

no im his number one fan! lol
Wrong. You are not #1
As a Rangers fan I admit I adore this guy.
Such a good person, leader and competitor.
Put this man on the 5 dollar bill
i heard terry fox might go on it
Friedman first! Disheveled hair look preferably!
Great suit on Sid. I feel like he's upped his game. And what does Elliotte have on his feet, mukluks?
Guy's such a beauty. Works his ass off, has made countless linemates better and has taken less $$ to do it. Humble, driven and courteous. First ballot HOF.
I don't even like Pittsburgh. Don't hate em but don't care for em that much. Hats off to 87.
i'm going to cry like a baby when sid retires
Same 🥺😭
I love that Sid called out the DoPS for their BS in recent seasons. And his statement was absolutely bang on!
One constant? He should have said the jock strap he’s been wearing for almost 20 years
I love Sidney. 🐧💛
Love you Sydney. You are the best player ever.
GENERATIONAL
Just wish there was more of this with the goat
Love Crosby 👏
The more I watch Sid become a man the more I think he will never actually coach in the NHL. He may hand pick a team for Canada every now and then but my gut says he will dedicate his life to the youth.
I hope to be able to see him play before he retires.
We need Canada in the Olympics with Sid & McDavid. We need Olympic hockey back asap.
Love my NS Penguin.
Love Sid 👌
Im excited go pens go
Ohh captain my captain!!!! Let’s gooo pens
So incredibly handsome. 😍
I didn't know Bobby Flay did hockey interviews on the side
🐐
Damn, he looks really good with the salt and pepper
goat
sid doesn't age
Canada's got the best players
Oh my god, there are people making noise in the background during an interview with Sidney Crosby! How unprofessional is that!!
Crosby knows there's another kid comin for his spot
Well yeah I mean he's 36. Time comes for everyone
Is Sid the lid older then dubas? 😂
Goat
What’s new about the penguins
Half of their lineup and front office lmao
This sounds like a Oprah Winfrey interveiw for a hockey game 🙈
Sidney Crosby; amazing hockey player, horrible lier. #LGP
Sad that he’s gonna retire in about 2 years
2 years left for his contract and i think he will resign for 1 or 2 more years
I heard him say it around this time last year and he seemed confident when saying it. I bet you he retires summer 2025 bd when he does ratings will dip because he is the face of the league

PENGUINS
STANLEY CUP WINNER2024
They will struggle to make the playoffs.
Penguins are an old team. Lots of talent but old. Don’t see this working.
😂😂😂😂😂
All eyes are on the Oilers let’s be honest, vegas are getting abused this season by us
You guys said that before our playoff series as well. How’d that turn out?
Oilers are in the back burner. There’s only one Mecca in hockey and Edmonton is not even close.
Not a joke or dig but do you think Sid might come out in retirement?
No. Even if this rumor is true, he and the Pens (who I believe he will work with after he retires) are so private and image obsessed it would never happen.
I would love to see Crosby traded to Avalanche in his last years to see him play with Mackinnon and have a real chance to win one more time.. but probably not going to happen and I’m not betting on pens winning anytime soon
What's the point asking a question to a hockey player because you always get the same boring answers that goes nowhere
2nd comment

As much I want see him get a 4th cup I think we should stared rebuilding after missing and should sold at 2023 trade deadline
you don't rebuild until after sid hangs up the skates
Untill 87 decides to hang them up for good… the window is open… you don’t go in rebuild while window is open…
Terrible take
can't wait to watch crosby play with karlsson
Can we talk about Elliot’s tight jeans and high top Nikes 😂😂😂😂
