This signing just made Tampa Bay look like scum for what they did to Stammer. Not a Bolts fan but even that made me angry for the fans.
Good on Sid for staying.
Given what just happened with the Gaudreau's its all about family and the Penguins are his family outside Cole Harbour! He certainly doesn't need more money, I think he's proven that his current team is the best fit for closing out and will probably add to his legacy, though its pretty much written. His decision was probably shaped with the Jagr retirement ceremony. I think they are already making rafter space for his number!
Agree steal
87 comments lol had to do it
As a Flyers fan, I hate these guys however I have to commend the loyalty to their team for being definitely underpaid with their level of talent. They have committed their careers to the Pittsburg Penguins. I must respect that. (I always put Lemieux on a pedestal even though he murdered Flyers like Sid and Geno still do)The rivalry has died substantially due to retarded nhl scheduling. Would love it if the Patrick division reassembled to play against each other 6 times a year. Hella fights and playoff atmosphere games!!! Im not a post 90s fan. League is bi**h now.
Just saw an Avs fan fall to his knees at Walmart
He gonna be like Chelios. Playing til he is 45
I'd say Crosby is already #3 all time. He can only go down the list at this point there's no getting any higher. He can never pass Mario and Wayne. McDavid may eventually pass him. His points per game pace is much higher than Sid's but he needs to win at least 1 cup first before he's even in the discussion.
With Crosby, I don't think it's so much about the money or chasing a cup anymore. I think it's purely about the love of the game. And with what he has managed to accomplish over his career, can anyone blame him? He's got two Olympic Gold medals, 3 Stanley Cups, 1 World Championship Gold, 1 World Juniors Gold, and a dozen or so NHL awards. Dude is going to retire a Penguin.
Here’s a guy who actually wants to win. Now watch Dubas give it all away to overpay someone else.
It's a bargain, probably the best bargain in the NHL.
No matter what team it would have been he would have signed a 8.7 contract. So I don't understand why people are acting like crosby is doing anything special for the team. It's just his silly superstition
when one day crosby becomes coach or GM and gives pens a cup then he will surpass 66 or win another cup in next 3 season
8.7 milllon fir Crosby is a steal id take him over driasital
8.7 million cap hit. 8 point 7. 87. Neat.
He needs to keep playing and retire at age 87 to keep the streak alive
I never write off hall of famers..and the Pens sure have many of those..yes this is a super fair deal because just his name and legacy alone is worth more..and no he cannot rank higher than Mario ever lol..but still what a follow up he has become
Sid the Kid Crosby is still the best and most humble legend. He really puts a lot of these guys to shame and it's crazy that he is still locked in at 8.7M and at only 2 years, instead of like 4 or 6 years (some crazy term) because there is no way the NHL would object even though he is older than 35.
I can be a human again. Finally
Sid the kid is such a class act.
Great to see he's staying, should be a Pen for life!
If Sid wins the cup, he's the GOAT 🐧
Why would he go he is the penguins and one thing about good hockey organization is they take care of their players just look at Detroit
Lets hear Toronto’s finest justifying the core 4 lol…..
Crosby is simply Goated, him and Mario have the greatest history with the franchise and he absolutely deserves to have his number hanging on the rafters the moment he says “I’m retiring” like they better have his number ready to be raised the moment he says the words.
WHY HE HAVE PINGU ON CHEST?
As heard on SDP. Sidney Crosby when done will have played 19 seasons at 8.7mil per 😂
For myself and Michael Keaton, we both see this as an absolute win.
Shows how much he makes in endorsements and that salary is not all he gets…
He's very superstitious 😅
He's gonna retire at 87 come-on now
What can Crosby do to further cement his legacy in Pittsburgh?
1) Join rare air with Lemiex and Yzerman playing a long career with for only one franchise
2) Bring a fourth cup to Pittsburgh
Crosby once again showing the league what it takes to actually win Stanley cups. Underpaid for 19 years now. Now lets make the damn playoffs.
Mario had a higher generational talent peak but syd has been a longevity warrior. I remember teams beating, cheap shotting him relentlessly in the playoffs. From my Habs fan perspective, he earned my respect 10 fold!
A last eomtion packed deep playoff run would cement his place as an alltime great even further
I think Crosby just did what he could to climb. That was selfless. (lets be honest though 8.7 mil ain't peanuts) He has been very loyal though. He likely could have had his pick of cup chasing teams for nearly the same (or a bit more)
Absolute overpay
When you think of Pittsburgh, Crosby and Mario are the first things that come to mind as a hockey fan. I'm glad he can finish his career exactly how it started. Next move in his last year he can move back in with Mario and his family. LOL The real question is can his Jock survive another 3 years?
I have met Sid and he is exactly what you think he would be. Humble, polite and pleasant. Fantastic roll model for any young kids. As for hockey, top 5 all time, JMO. 99 called him the most beaten super star in hockey history. If not for that, his numbers are far better.
The only good contact Dubas was ever involved in
Huh, too bad Stamkos couldnt get a deal done in TB. Would have been nice to see stammer retire a bolt.
Crosby might shift to the owner's box when he retires
What a Canadian class act
i have had respect for Crosby since he became known, of course his tremendous read on the ice but as much his fairness and control speaks volumes. As time went on and he was continually compared to Ovechkin , then Sid showcased these values. When Ovechkin went around plowing into people as he generally was heavier than the others Ovi showed himself as a ruffian and bully on skates , but Crosby was a class act the whole way through. When we always played the Russians then Crosby led the team in every way and it was like Ovi was not even playing. I hope too that the Penguins make the playoffs as Crosby always ups his game , but I think its Edmontons year . Greetings from a Canadian hockey nut living in Norway ….. Sid was in Oslo this summer 🎉
Crosby is THEE 🐐
Crosby retiring puts him with Beliveau, Lemieux, and Apps. Finishing his career with the same team is a wonderful thing and it makes him a future hall of famer.
