“Go get them.”
Let it be known that when Sidney was going through his really bad concussion era he wanted to give up his captaincy to one of the assistant captains and Geno was the one who said absolutely not and told him he needed to stay captain despite not being able to play. He’s always had Sidney’s back.
Nikita screaming “Sid” is my new religion
you’re so right anon 😭😭😭😭😭

inside penguins hockey: what would you ask your pet?
the sad answer :(
post-game floof
Tanev rocked Sid pretty good, much to Sid's delight (5/18/21)
“I'm watching the exact same show (as Jordan). I may have to pick his brain a little bit and see what he's thinking. I'm all for the F1. I'll be interested to see the behind-the-scenes stuff.”
the article we’ve been waiting for is here… some snippets from Fifteen years, 3 Stanley Cups and a brotherhood: Inside Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin’s powerful, quiet friendship, 13 May 2021
While Malkin’s comfort speaking English kept him from doing interviews as a rookie, he has understood the language well enough from Day 1 in Pittsburgh to connect with his teammates. This helped the friendship. So, too, did Crosby’s natural understanding of his fellow superstar. Crosby sounds more like a therapist than a friend when analyzing Malkin’s personality. Perhaps, at times, they have been both of those things for one another.
“He’s not someone who is always going to let you know how he’s feeling,” Crosby explained. “He’s not always going to tell you if something’s wrong, so you have to get to know him. He’s just got a ton of pride, more than people realize, I think. I don’t think he’s real comfortable being open about when something is upsetting him. But the more we’ve gotten to know each other over the years, the more open we’ve learned to become. I think it’s just a good, healthy relationship.”
There was plenty of fun along the way, too.
In 2006, many of the young Penguins were together at a bar on Pittsburgh’s historic South Side. Malkin and Crosby, along with others, were having some fun after a game when a group of young women spotted two of Pittsburgh’s most eligible bachelors.
Not knowing many English words, Malkin sheepishly asked Crosby what to say to one or any of the women. Not knowing quite what advice to give, Crosby instructed Malkin to approach them and introduce himself. Already an admirer of Crosby, Malkin’s trust was evident when he quickly walked toward the group and said, “Hi, I Seven-One.”
Standing a few feet away, Maxime Talbot, Malkin’s traveling roommate, future playoff linemate and a longtime friend to Crosby, bent over with laughter. Crosby, himself laughing, approached Talbot and politely jabbed him with an elbow, worried that Malkin would see them and think they were making fun of him.
“Sid was looking out for Geno then,” Talbot said. “It’s those little things that Sid does. He’s the best player in the world. He’s a better guy.”
Malkin agrees. At his apartment in Moscow, his offseason condominium on Florida’s Fisher Island and at his home in Pittsburgh, Malkin displays various memorabilia of Crosby. These include Russian nesting dolls painted in Crosby’s likeness, framed photographs, pucks and sticks from various games, anything and everything the most serious Crosby fan would want for his or her collection. Malkin jokes that Nikita, his son, will probably pick Crosby as his favorite player because of all the stuff.
“Is good,” Malkin said. “Of course, I will be his real favorite. But Sid is the best player, the best teammate. A great friend. I hope Nikita thinks of him as family. I do.”
Clearly, Crosby considers Malkin family.
“Having him around has always made my life better, on and off the ice,” Crosby said. “He has a way of knowing when to make you laugh, knowing when to lighten the room. But at the same time, he knows when to be serious, too. It’s just a great friendship. I just always liked him from the start. Always have. Always will.”

i really wish they stopped constantly asking charles why he doesn’t seem more enthusiastic after getting pole or if this “2022 charles” we’re seeing is a new and improved version of himself. sorry to break it to you, but you must’ve been blind for the past 3 years if you don’t realise the pure raw talent this man possesses. do you really think ferrari - the oldest, most famous, most respected team, the emblem of f1 as a sport - would sign a muti-year contract with the first fast kid they came across? who drove a fucking tractor for the past years always managing to squeeze everything out of it? who fought tooth and nail for a podium when the others were driving a rocketship and he was stuck with a lawnmower? which driver is so enamoured, passionate and devoted to his team as this kid is? you say “it’s the car”, i say IT’S WHAT HE DESERVES after all he went through. if there is someone, anyone on that grid who deserves to win, who deserves a competitive and reliable car to prove to the whole world how much he is worth, then it’s CHARLES LECLERC, whether you like it or not.

no because the absolute stunning beauty of charles’ racecraft isn’t his aggressiveness or natural speed, it’s his intelligence and incredible ability to read a situation. he let max pass him in turn one those two times because he knew exactly where he needed to place the cars to use his drs to re pass as efficiently as possible. he predicted what max’s moves would be and what he would try to do and instead of just shoving him off he controlled the situation and gave him an inch - no more, no less, just enough. he wasn’t going to yield but he didn’t have to because he knew that even max had his limits and by battling in the way he did he didn’t give max any opportunity to put him in a situation where he might have needed to. he could be exactly on the line but never, ever crossing it, aggressive without being dangerous and also incredibly clean without looking like an easy target. that was all achieved in the first race of a new generation of cars and against the reining world champion after being unable to fight at the front for two years. to lead a race after so long and keep calm and consistent is one thing, but to have such an analytical, tactical mindset as well? absolutely astounding. charles has come back to the front of the pack as twice the driver he was in 2019 and even then he was fantastic. they should be scared.
If you got a car that can fight for a world championship, are you ready to take the fight?
"I feel ready. I mean I’ve always felt ready, you need to feel that way as a driver. If you don’t believe in yourself, then stay home.
I believe in myself and I feel much readier than I was in 2019. I'm more grown, I have more experience, which will help. So yes, I do."
Monaco I love you and hopefully one day you will love me back. 🇲🇨😖
