I think even after Sid retires he's gonna keep hosting the mini training camps for nhl players in the summer. Not because he wants to mould the next generation of nhl players or anything, but so he doesnt have to deal with nate standing sadly outside his back door every day for the whole summer, waiting for sid to come play.

Love the tone of this Dupuis interview… he really said “yes, Sid is autistic and that makes him the best at hockey but also insane about it”

Sidgeno goals should be worth 2. Because of love

came across an nhl gossip thread on reddit where people were saying there was something "off" about sidcros in that creepy Tom Cruise way where he doesn't understand social cues and forces "canned laughter" in places he expects it to be.

my brother in christ, i think that man might just be on the spectrum. a lifetime of just wanting to be one of the boys when you're treated as god's gift to hockey mannnn

I truly don’t think people grasp the fact that Sidney Crosby has been majorly broadcasted in the spotlight since basically age 14… do they not understand how that maybe might make a person a little weary of loosening up??

I’m also not diagnosing anything, but (to your point) sidcros does display many symptoms of autism spectrum disorder, and with all the chirping and social interaction he has had to deal with throughout his career I would completely understand how it may be difficult to know when to laugh or when someone’s being genuine. But he’s also Captain Giggles so he definitely does find enjoyment in people’s humor—it just seems to come out more the more comfortable he is. You can see him loosen up a lot when with people he’s familiar with (Nate, Geno, Kris, etc…), so I think those people saying that are just being judgmental and ignorant to rile people up. Besides him getting riled up on the ice at calls, I’ve never heard a story of him being disingenuous, mean, or creepy.

"we've played together so long, it's clear i'd love to be playing with him for longer. i think it's pretty obvious at this point, i'd love to keep playing with him" (guess who he's talking about)

bonus from a few years back

sidcros and cmd hugging is actually hilarious to watch because it’s so obvious they are both trying to nuzzle into the other’s neck but there can only be one neck-nuzzler per embrace so they’re just pushing their heads at each other

edit (added evidence):

just absolutely battling to get a nose in the other’s neck

besides the whole hockey phenom thing, sidney crosby really is the most guy ever. he loves to fish. his favorite topic is military history, specifically WWII. his “can’t miss” shows were vikings and ted lasso. his guilty pleasures are chocolate and pizza and chicken parm. he likes white-girl pop and espresso martinis but also slow country and cold beer. he goes on hikes and takes shitty pics of the landscapes but still sends them to his friends because… nature. he’s a terrible driver. he picks superman over spiderman bc the outfit’s better. he has a genuine lust for life and joyful presence. god i hate him, what a loser. i need that basic bitch carnally.

Number one goalie lover and all around whimsical guy

steve yzerman and sergei fedorov being sidcros and geno’s fave players, respectively, is not lost on me. there’s levels to this yaoi.

[n0vaastarr]

“does sidney crosby or will smith make better banana bread?” ok well one of them puts his whole pussy into individually wrapping every banana bread loaf he makes and the other once put a pizza in the oven with the cardboard under it so what do you think

[joss-the-boss]

sidney crosby having two more emmys than the show it’s always sunny in philadelphia is so funny to me, he’ll do anything to beat that damn city
