    Sidney Crosby is the greatest player of his generation anyone that denies that is just stupid and knows nothing about the sport. He is the pinical of professionalism and hardwork, he has taken hometown discounts so the Pens could win Cups unlike the new wave of players in this league. He is the best possible role model for a young athlete. The game will surely lose and miss one of the Greatest to ever do it when he hangs up the skates. Congrats Sid

  • @williambecke5212
    @williambecke5212 5 років тому +2

    What a speech and what a player. And his speech is the perfect example of the type of guy he is. He only speaks of others and thanks them for their support along the journey. As well he shows his softer side with some laughs and funny stories. He has priorities straight, that you need to be thankful for the people in your life, and to make sure you enjoy what you do. This is why Sid is as good as he is. Yes he is naturally gifted and the hardest working player in the league, but without humility and a clear heart, you cannot get to the level Sid is.
    No doubt in mind the NHL will have a ceremony like this when Sid retires. He deserves it.

    as a Penguin fan, I truly feel blessed to have this incredible human representing my city and my favorite team. I've idolized Sidney for just about 15 years now and I'm always amazed at how he can be so talented and accomplish so much, yet stay as humble and passionate for hockey as he was when he came into the league. He had the biggest spotlight on him before he was even old enough to drive, yet has met and even surpassed all expectations while maintaining a perfectly spotless track record in every aspect of his life. That, to me, is what is most impressive about guys like Sid and LeBron James (having arguably the most hype around them in sports history and meeting all expectations with their play while being role models and true leaders on and off the court/ice), especially nowadays where it seems a lot of athletes are getting in hot water with things.
    A true role model through and through, as incredible on the ice as he is, he's even better off it. He certainly deserves all he gets and I couldn't be more thankful that he ended up in Pittsburgh and did all he has done for the franchise and the city as a whole. Sid will forever be my favorite athlete and I try my best to not look too far ahead, because I can't imagine hockey without this man. I'm glad to see people who used to hate on him start to acknowledge his greatness too, even though it is a result of his career entering its final half. Love or hate him on the ice, I don't think anyone can argue his greatness or his impact, and especially not his character off the ice. I'll defend him to the death though I think his actions and accomplishments take care of that regardless.
    And what an honor it is to have your number not only retired by Rimouski, but throughout the Q entirely. So well deserved. Thank you Sid for everything you've done and will do from here on out, on and off the ice. A true hockey, Rimouski, Pittsburgh, Canadian, all around human legend.

      Robert Stroud are you trying to be funny or something

      Random Person, I absolutely cannot stand Sid The Kid! He's mean, arrogant, thinks he's good..... I could go on but I say all these mean, rotten, things, that, in reality, aren't true because HE DOESN'T PLAY FOR THE SABRES! If he did, he'd be the best player in hockey. Forgot to mention, if he played for the Sabres he wouldn't be an ego maniac. He'd be a nice guy. Like Jack Eichel!

      I guess he doesn't get to practice. You could even lose your first language if you moved to another and completely stopped using it

      He still speaks French with his buddies Letang and Fleury.
