i don't have twitter myself but i have gotten the um. vague sense that maybe some of the things i have posted recently have made its way there... which i am fine with; obviously i don't own any of the actual material. i just wanted to be clear now that if you do share things taken directly from my tumblr on other public sites/apps, please don't include my tumblr username/url, thank you!!
a swedish broadcast from 2003 about 16-year-old sid. uploader description states that it's from before the world junior championship and in connection with a friendly match with sweden, so i would think that aligns with the pre-2004 tournament exhibition match on december 21, 2003.
transcript of the english portions of the interview under cut:
SC: Yeah, I've always been youngest when I played and it's no different here, so age isn't really a big deal for me. It's just something that I accept and I try to go out there and be the same as everyone else.
What kind of hockey player are you?
SC: I think I'm an all-around player, someone who makes things happen offensively and puts the puck on the net and sets up other guys, but good defensively as well.
SC: I don't think no one's going to break [Wayne Gretzky's] records but, you know, I just want to keep going and do the things I do and, you know, it was a compliment for him to say that.
SC: I'm not even thinking about the NHL right now. I have a lot more to go before that.
SC: I like Steve Yzerman, or Paul Kariya, Joe Sakic, guys like that. Peter Forsberg. Guys who are all-around players, good offensively and good players.
