Nikita screaming “Sid” is my new religion

you’re so right anon 😭😭😭😭😭

Crosby also remembers Keith Tkachuk's hockey-crazed sons Matthew and Brady - who were 9 and 7 at the time - running around and playing mini sticks. Crosby posed for a picture with them at some point during the weekend, as both boys were big fans of the Penguins captain.

Now that the Tkachuk brothers are All-Stars themselves, and shared that Eastern Conference locker room as Crosby's teammates during this weekend's festivities in Florida, Matthew - who finished as MVP - said they found themselves 'in awe' of him … and made sure to recreate that photo.

"It's a guy you grew up watching and looking up to, not only his game, but the leadership off the ice and all that," Brady said. "So to be able to kind of just see him, have some conversations with him over this weekend - it kind of makes you feel like a fanboy again."

Hearing Crosby's peers speak of him with reverence is certainly nothing new.

"It's awesome to be around him. Kind of intimidating sometimes," admitted Johnny Gaudreau, who got the locker stall next to Crosby in his ninth All-Star Game, and first in the Eastern Conference now that the former Flame is with Columbus. "But just such a normal guy. It's just great to be around him, and it's just a really cool experience for me."

Oilers superstar Connor McDavid, regarded as the reigning best player in the league, has repeatedly referenced how he's never won the way Sid has, with Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner saying the Golden Goal from the 2010 Olympics went "viral" in his household.

"I grew up with a couple of those Crosby Reebok sticks. Those were one of my favorite sticks growing up," said Marner, who rode with Crosby from their hotel to the rink for the All-Star Game on Saturday afternoon, with the fans loving their interactions together. "Anything that had the Crosby name on it, I wanted it in my hands."

Speaking of sticks, Lightning netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy, a two-time Stanley Cup Champion and Vezina Trophy winner as the league's best goalie, wasn't sure what to write when he exchanged twigs with Crosby … but that the inscription would likely include the word 'legend.' That's the same word his fellow Russian, Hurricanes winger Andrei Svechnikov, used multiple times when referring to Crosby.

But in speaking with some of the younger guys around the league that are in leadership positions for their respective clubs - like Brady as captain of the Ottawa Senators at age 23, and Nick Suzuki as captain of the Montreal Canadiens, also at age 23 - what stood out this year is not just those fun anecdotes … but also how they spoke unprompted about the example Crosby provides to them with how he carries himself. 

"He's really, really well spoken," Suzuki said. "Down to earth guy. Probably doesn't know how big of an idol he is to everyone around him. So it's cool to see that, just how humble he is. And he works extremely hard, so he's a great guy to learn from."

-It Never Gets Old Having Crosby at All-Star Weekend

wow they’re all so horny for him…

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.”
