Sidney Crosby after season finale

[justinsamsel]

Lifelong Caps fan and I hope the entire NHL community will recognize just how amazing Crosby’s season was this year. The fight for the playoffs was incredibly entertaining, but nobody stood out with the gut and determination like Syd. Quite simply, the last person and team I’d want my Caps facing in the playoffs were these guys. Let’s do it again next year boys!

A few years back I flew Crosby from NHL Awards in Vegas to LA. Got to talk hockey with him for about 30 minutes. Class act.

[Impuhlz]

Nothing but class from Sid- bro nearly single-handedly dragged this team into a wildcard spot and potted 42 at age 36, and not once showed an ounce of resentment toward any of his men. That's a captain right there.

Sid had another banner year ! Nothing but class from our captain!!.

[mudwiser]

Another stellar year from Sid. He's a remarkable athlete. Every shift is gold. Not sure when he will hang up the blades, but the good news is, he will be a big part of hockey for many years to come as a coach or GM.. Brilliant hockey mind.

Nova Scotia boys are all heart. See ya in Cole Harbour soon, Sid.

In all accounts..this man did everything a team captain could do to get this team into the playoffs..I just question the other mates and management on where they been doing all this time..

I counted them out after the Colorado game. They were 10 back at the time from the wild card spot. They had a good run towards the end getting 19 of 24 possible points. They just could not figure out the power play. There was too many turnovers and too many breakaway chances for the opposing teams. Them not being able to keep leads sometimes with 3 or 4 goal leads was so frustrating.
The core played well and kept themselves in a lot of games. There was also some memorable moments.
The 12 round shootout against Montreal was crazy. Sidney Crosby doing Sidney Crosby things. Malkin's parents wiping tears of pride and joy.
The team in the organization will have plenty of time to think about next year and how to fix and fill those holes that sank the ship

Lets Go Pens 🐧

Here’s one for ya Pens nation, one of your alumni namely Paul “Jaun” Coffey once said when asked about the comparison between Crosby and that #99 character said this..”you can’t mention Gretzky and Crosby in the same sentence” and that was in an interview in the presence of Gordie Howe.He demonstrated no respect for Sidney and that tv interview incidentally was conducted in Sidney’s home town in NovaScotia.Unbelievable.When referring to Gordie in that interview, he would call him “Mr. Howe”.He sucked up to Gordie but had the audacity to throw Sid to the curb.Coffey was born in Ontario…that explains it eh. Canadian eh ! Here’s what I would say to Mr Coffey, ”you can’t mention Ted Lindsay and Paul Coffey in the same sentence”.Ted Lindsay was born in Ontario and Carl Brewer was as well.Lindsay of course instrumental in organizing the union for NHL players and Brewer was the driving force in battling the NHL for underfunding retired players.Lindsay was aghast when none of the big stars showed up for Brewer’s funeral after his passing.Lindsay called them out for their lack of respect in an interview I witnessed as well.Shameful.That generation of Lindsay and Brewer and Parks to name only a few knew respect.It can be said that respect may be lacking today but that can’t be said about a man named Sidney Crosby.Sidney is all about respect and stands in no one’s shadow.Number 87 stands alone.

Again he proved that age is a number just like his stats, so long as hes breathing, he will keep clawing to victory, no matter the odds. This is what makes him a Top 3 nhl player all time and the greatest hockey player the sport ever witnessed

[CalgaryDynastar]

Woulda loved to see the pens make it after what they accomplished to turn their season around in the last month.

[jimc]

Saying this right now. Make Ned the starter next season and bring up Bloomquist. Trade Jarry. Between getting Jarry and Jeff Carter off the books, they can afford to bring in a Guentzel type player. Keep bringing up young talent as well- guys like Poulin and the young players we got in the Gentzel trade. Also- need another net front presence guy that can stand in front of the other teams net.

SID - please can we see you in May for TEAM CANADA?

[Rick-zpsr]

Thank you for the whisper mode, for us hearing comprised. FFS, turn up the volume in post.

[acousticshadow]

Bruins fan. Who wouldn't gladly take this guy on their team? Here's to you, Mr Crosby!

[annaszczepanik]

They need to give him team to win, he cant do this alone. I wish he could win just one more cup ...

[oilerz]

Get outta there for the last few seasons. He deserves another solid playoff run.

[RichardMcGuire-ikfl]

Crosby did all he could, the season could have been better if the other players would have put in the effort as he did.

[northhaven]

Not to worry Pens fans your new GM will have them finally making the playoffs, only to exit the first round. Ex Maple Leafs fan here

[jibberjabberr]

Come finish it with the upstart Habs next year Sid. You know you want to.
