Once upon a time, we hardly knew hockey or perfect webcomics about hockey existed. Now look at us.

trying to make a list for myself of all the things that happened this weekend:

  • sid designed the most horrible MS paint monstrosity of a shirt ever to commemorate his Very Special Weekend with the boys 🤍
  • sid spent months personally planning a cole harbor scavenger hunt with the help of his childhood coach, who reported that sid has been vibrating with anticipation for ages about having The Guys in his hometown
  • sid took the boys to the most challenging golf course he could find so he could defeat them. his love languages are scrapbooking and winning at all costs 🤍
  • geno wore his sid hat and posed with a dented dryer, which he called the most famous washing machine in canada. that’s right G keep him humble
  • sid and his parents coordinated to make goodie bags for all the players which included a fresh baked loaf of banana bread
  • we also learned that sid regularly makes mini loafs for the guys during the season (I can only assume to boost morale) and leaves them in their lockers. I can’t. what. who is he
  • bryan rust described his captain as “little suzy homemaker”
  • geno coached a kids’ skate clinic with sid and the coaching staff during which he made the children laugh and then terrorized them by chasing them down the ice and pelting them with his gloves as hard as he could. that’s the kasterova-malkin philosophy of childrearing ok you can’t let a little pipsqueak win
  • a small child asked sid how he felt when he got drafted by the pens and sid said :))) I was pretty excited about playing with this guy :)))) and grinned at geno like a dope. get married about it you disgust me
  • another small child asked sid who his best friend on the team was and sid grinned and pointed wordlessly at geno, who fist pumped the air and hollered in smug triumph
  • kris chirped sid soooooo good about acting like he had to “grind hard” or whatever to make it to the big leagues from his gritty working-class small town when in fact there are squash courts outside of sid’s very nice childhood rink
  • also kris wore sid’s horrible MS paint creation to a hospital. he inflicted sid’s graphic design upon sick children. for shame
  • the children kept up a steady chant of CROSBY, CROSBY, CROSBY during sid’s media and geno in the locker room said NOT CROSBY TELL THEM MALKIN IS HERE TOO and then when the pens posted this video on insta he commented “crosby crosby crosby”

Evgeni Malkin: "We have a lot of memories, and my best one is when I came to Pittsburgh for the first time and we had dinner. Me, Sid, Mario (Lemieux) and (Sergei Gonchar). It was the first time we met each other. And now, after 15 years, he's not 'Sid the Kid' anymore. He is an old man (laughs). But he is a great leader, great teammate and the most professional hockey player I have ever seen."

Kris Letang: "I've been with him for 15 years, so it's tough to say one thing. Sid would just come up with me to pick my son up after school and sit around and wait for the kids to come out. He would bring him Gatorade and just spend a little bit of time with Alex.

Jake Guentzel: "I think the first time I got called up in training camp, I didn't really know anyone. He went out of his way and took 10 minutes of his time and just came and talked to me. He shook my hand and introduced himself and told me if I ever need anything, he'll be there for me. So just being a young guy who doesn't really know anyone, that just made me feel really comfortable."

Max Talbot: "After we won the Cup in '09, Geno and I went to the Awards in Las Vegas, brought the Cup and everything. Sid was still hurt, so he didn't go, but he met us in Miami. We're not even a week away from winning the Stanley Cup, his first one. We're on the beach, just relaxing and stuff. We go to dinner that night, hang out, go to bed pretty late. The next morning I show up for breakfast in my bathing suit just going to lay on the beach again. I see Sid with his running shoes on and he's going to run. I'm like, 'what are you doing?! What are we doing?'' He was like, 'well, let's prepare to win another Cup.' And I'm like 'dude, relax (laughs).' That just shows how driven he is. He's already thinking about the second Cup. I was like, 'I'm not following you there. I'm going to relax and get a tan (laughs).'"

Dr Dharmesh Vyas: "There's a lot of things that Sidney and I have shared together, but probably the one that comes to mind the most is what he does for my two girls during warmups any time they're down there at the glass watching him from Suite 66. They usually stand there and then he stealthily comes up next to the glass with his back to the glass, and he takes a bunch of snow from the ice and then dumps it on their heads. They know it's going down, but they play along and look around like, where did that come from? They're wearing Crosby jerseys, so it's especially funny for them. He's done this for years. It's unusual for him, because he's a creature of habit, but he'll change up his routine just to do that. He always asks them if they're sleeping well, and tells the girls sleep is a weapon."
