Wellllll wellllll welllllllll, if it isn’t what every Pittsburgh fan has been saying all along.

[@jordielavallee4242]

Calm down they never said once he was leaving they were speculating that's what sports shows do

[@ThePalisky]

Even non pitt fans honestly the narrative is so dumb and manufactured just to have something to talk about

[@ScreaminT81]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@BangHeadShotDed]

@@jordielavallee4242 nah dont calm down let the canadian media have it for trying to drive a bs narrative

[@enmac500]

You went from winning a cup to very very big victim complex pretty quick, not that many years. good job lil bro

[@TheDoctorZeus]

They bamboozed 2 views out of my ass from Sidney Crosby titles. I can't even be mad, good work boys.

[@sdpn]

Thank you! 😅

[@wilseph1]

OR, Crosby gets MacKinnon to join PITT with that 8 year deal he signed back in 2022.

[@KevinJL]

No

[@ozma6918]

17:59 "Shoutout peanut butter" I was expecting a response: "Shoutout Oh! Henry!" 😂

[@jonasgorea3823]

Tbh it wouldn’t do much for Sid if he left and won again. He’s already one of the greatest. What does another cup add to his legacy and would that be worth him spending his whole career as a pen. The answer is it doesn’t compare. He is already the top player in the cap era ever imo so leaving and winning another wouldn’t change much and would only make him miss out on the achievement of starting and finishing ur career with one club

[@davidfox9947]

It is more impressive to win a another tile with a different franchise if only win with the same team it can always be said you were just in the right place at the right time.

[@jamesbruce8749]

I was thinking that it would of been the ultimate slap in the face. Sid will be a Penguin for life and that's how his career should end.

[@ddmath]

Thanks for the entertaining and informative pods. Looking forward to the next season's worth!

[@dannycunha348]

Great season guys. Enjoy your vacation see you next season. Cheers 🎉

[@colinbradbury]

HQ audio AND HQ video for CJ!! Must've just wrapped his SDP appearance.

[@davidfitzpatrick6535]

12:46 So for me I actually have two NHL Mount Rushmores. the first one is the Legends mount Rushmore who are players I never saw/too young to remember playing (for example I was born in 95 but am too young to remember Gretzky) AND then the 2nd one is Modern Mt Rushmore for players I've actually seen play.

[@Michael-pg7rv]

Iunno about Crosby taking more money on his next deal. Don't get me wrong, the dude deserves it more than anyone but at this juncture in his life I think he just wants to continue to be dominant and win hockey games and make a run for another cup. He has made a lot of money in his career even at the steal of a contract that he has had. But what is an extra 1 or 2 million going to really do to improve his life at this point? I bet he takes the same hit at 8.7M for 3 more years. If he wins the olympic gold medal in 2026 then the final year of his contract will be a farewell tour and he will go down as one of the greats of this game. I hope to see him again either as a GM or a coach but I am not sure he has it in him to do that.

Stampede Breakfasts are what The Stampede is about. A hearty breakfast for free, and then plan your day.

[@vipeholmskolan6052]

Kucherov indeed should have won the Hart.

[@macleanclassics]

Mitch marner playing for his next contract could be special... he loves money.

[@davidfitzpatrick6535]

A) this news probably is breaking Montreal fans hearts who were hoping Sid would "come home" to end his career as a Hab. b) Sidney Crosby is the reason there were SO MANY Penguin fans in my HS the other reason being the Leafs were dog poop for the majority of my childhood.

[@lawrencefrazier2044]

I Say It Is An AAv of 8.787 for 4 years

[@patrickhamos2987]

breaking: Crosby to vegas confirmed

[@andyholland2130]

Sid is great but if you're combining all era's into one Mt. Rushmore, for me, it's Gretzky, Orr, Howe, Roy. Howe is Mr. Hockey, Orr and Roy changed the way their positions are played, while being considered the best to ever play their positions and Gretzky is the goat, who changed how the entire game was played and because of him generations of players all became better.

[@brendansutton5201]

Gotta say Sid is above Orr and Howe these days imo, games changed so much

[@BangHeadShotDed]

This is crazy cope. hes a penguin and a top 5 all time. get over it

[@andyholland2130]

@@BangHeadShotDed Aren't you a silly goose.

[@rodchallis8031]

My 2023/24 season highlight doesn't come from the NHL, but rather the ball hockey leagues that finally decided to crack down on goons. ;)

[@Krokodilius]

so the penguins didn't have the balls to do the stamkos, hell, even the avz had to say goodbye to forsberg because of the cap...so a dying team is gonna sign a player to way too much out of sentimentality and get nothin for em. enjoy the dark ages dubas.

[@brendansutton5201]

Hate to say I agree, would love to see Sid finish his career in the playoffs with a shot at the cup, he's still UNREAL. I mean the dude is top 5 all time and I can easily see the pens just missing over and over again until he hangs them up. Suuucks big time

[@davidfitzpatrick6535]

3:57 No and heres why. Because IMO Crosby seems to be the type of guy that's playing in the NHL not for teh money but because he loves the game. U sign 2 contracts for the same amount (granted one of them was for a dozen years) that says to me ur'e playing for the love of the game and not for money.

[@brendansutton5201]

Hearing that Pittsburgh fans AND reporters were pissed about the last episode is hilarious, no reporting was done just chatting about different possibilities. This is sports they gotta lighten tf up

[@steverobinson8771]

Nashville? What do Nashville have that will beat Edmonton, over 7 games?

[@kurtwpg]

I think Chris is wrong about the AAV. I'd bet big money it's exactly $8,700,000.

[@WillPe8]

If mcdavid dominates the league like this for 12+ years he boots Orr of my Mt. Rushmore not Crosby. IMO based on the league he came into when he did he is my best of all time. Especially considering what players were allowed to do to him and the injuries

[@BvG_Venom]

Avs fans are probably feeling smeckledorfed right now. He aint going nowhere!!!

[@kevinhesspschamp8889]

Yeti

[@johnclaudevondon5333]

First words should have just been “I’m sorry to all Penguin fans”.

[@johnclaudevondon5333]

Sid is signing on 8/7/2024 and it’s going to be for 8.7 million

[@MoreHockeyCardsPlease]

Great click bait on Crosby....come on man, you guys know Crosby isn't leaving. Mathews on the other hand...

[@KevinJL]

Crosby is too square to leave.

[@bradleyvision7315]

Toronto media the worst 😂 only ones who thought 87 would leave are the dubas haters but hey, atleast treliving got yall some senior citizens and trees to play defense infront of a walking bandaid known as joseph "berlin" woll 😢

[@macleanclassics]

The difference between Crosby and Matthew's. Crosby was never the highest paid player in any season... mathews will most likely have been the highest paid player on 3 different occasions. One player is a captain who does anything he can to win, the other is not a captain, who will do anything to be paid. And they wonder why leafs fans are insane.

[@brendansutton5201]

Always about the Leafs eh... Brother do you know how many cup winners have had the highest contract in the league lmao, tons

[@macleanclassics]

@@brendansutton5201 name one in the past 10 years... you win with character and balance, not money . But hey, I really do hope the leafs can prove us all wrong....

[@remeli6148]

Happy for Pitts fan but lets be honest they will be irrelevant for the next 3-4 years.

[@BangHeadShotDed]

cope

[@davidfitzpatrick6535]

42:07 NO NO NO THIS IS NOT EUROPEAN SOCCER GIVE UR HOCKEY TEAM AN ACTUAL NAME. The ONE problem (besides the massive corruption) with European soccer is they dont have proper names for their soccer/football teams.

[@NintendoLAW]

Chumps didn’t even mention the Panthers as possible to repeat. Pathetic.

[@Calers-gu1ib]

True fans want Mitch and could care less about the money problems, that's for Treliving to work out. Band wagon fans and other fan bases pretending to be Leaf fans are the ones complaining about the Marner situation. You people on YT and Twitter are just feeding it.

[@abe1996]

In the time that Sidney Crosby has been playing in the US, the US has illegally invaded, occupied or attacked Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Palestine, etc., while funding and arming terrorist groups and foreign armies around the world (including Ukraine), amounting in immeasurable human suffering and economic calamity, at thw cost of YOUR tax dollar, but it would be some moral crime if he played in Russia???
