“...and pass me puck.” Legend.

[@CubicSnowYT]

Ahh Malkin lol

[@mguarin912]

I love Malkin, lol.

[@peaceandwealthseeker4504]

Him and Lemiuex single handedly saved hockey in this city. Let us never forget that! (And Malkin too getting him after Crosby doubles the hype and talent)

[@peaceandwealthseeker4504]

Plus one of the nicest arenas in the league

Wasn't Malkin drafted the year previous to Sid?

Crosby played his first NHL game the day after my first birthday, and how did my hockey-loving family celebrate? We watched hockey, of course. I grew up watching Sid the Kid, who has always been my favorite hockey player. It’s been so incredible watching this Pens team evolve for the past 15 years. This video was incredible, let’s make the playoffs, guys 🐧💛🖤🐧

[@___neil]

One of the greatest professional athletes of all time. Watching sid and geno play together made me fall in love with the game of hockey. I’ll always be grateful for that.

[@BrokenSaide]

Why haven't I seen the scene at 6:21 until now? That's gold

[@nationalhamleague5352]

Same! I hope someone links up the relevant video for context soon

[@earlviney5212]

Remember crosby one of the greatest athletes to ever play any game sport

[@StadiumLandings]

Couldn't help but think of that old beat up dryer in Cole Harbour while watching this! Congrats on the milestone Sid, you're a true inspiration for us all ♥️

[@c.9914]

From lil Timbit days to this milestone. Great dedication, incredible achievement.

[@unclejake1476]

When he watched all his teammates copy him in warm-ups I think he finally realized what a legend he's become.

[@Tdubdareal2000]

He was just made for this, to be one of the greatest, the captain, the heart of pittsburgh… Sidney Crosby has always been my role model no matter what. I personally believe he is one of the most respectable and hard working individuals even if he gets some hate everyone has got to give him a round of applause truly an amazing talent on and off the ice that we were blessed to watch… Thank you Sid

[@divisual]

One of most skilled and professional athletes to grace the league. Hoping for more cups sid.

[@ExpectoPatronum28]

Such a special talent.

[@nicc1728]

Just a really nice guy!...My 13year old hockey player looks up to him! ...Congratulations Sidney! Your Awesome!

[@HeyBroLetsParty]

“It’s a privilege to play in this league” Goes for others(nba, nfl, mlb etc..) Something that needs to be relayed to other athletes (mostly in other sports).

[@XxXNinjaFanXxX]

love him or hate him sid will go down as one of the best to touch hockey

[@PandahLife]

living legend

[@avilamiller843]

jeez i have been watching ever sense i was born. and his talent level keeps going up and up

Penguins players did more playing less than 1000 games Truly puts into perspective how blessed this franchise has been Mario was just Unbelievable what he accomplished only playing 600 ish games

[@colehanna4040]

You're off by a couple hundred... Mario played 915 games

[@jimmyc6686]

You can tell hes from the maritime's. Great guy

1000 games and the GOLDEN 🥅 GOAL

[@kiracorsello2901]

lol hanging out at my best friends house and she's like ooooh Crosby I love him...and I'm like um....letang baby Letang hahahahahaha we're so weird

[@georgeblair3894]

Can only imagine his points total if he hadn't lost all those games to injuries.

[@nabhannbn]

He is benjamin button ,age in reverse😁

[@nobillclinton]

. . .awwwww shucks

[@ll7868]

1000 more? I can see him playing into his 40s like Yagr, it's becoming a trend now.

[@trvman1]

Don't think that will happen. With his age and the amount of ice time he gets he will become injured more. Then one August before training starts he will wake up and say, "It's time to go and retire".

[@mau5pilot854]

Malkin’s gotta be getting pretty close to 1,000 games himself

[@TheLizardWizard17]

yeah Geno is at 936 and Tanger is at 830 something i believe

[@TDGaden]

Does Brian Burke ever wear a tie?

Its so stupid and silly that they hade to wear masks like that

Yup

Too bad masks always ruin these special moments... always look back on these videos and remind us of how stupid we were.

[@Toews1247]

Ya

The masks.....the masks......such a tragedy.

[@trevornott2488]

God, imagine having this unbelievable moment ruined forever because you’re being used as a pawn to push a lie being forced to wear a mask. Sad

corona is real trevor. sad this moment was ruined by corona, not the false rumor of it being a lie

​@@polodasaint Covid is real but the idea that low quality face coverings stop transmission was and is absurd. The idea that athletes in peak physical condition were at risk was and is absurd. The vaccines didn't prevent transmission either. You were lied to.
