Sid: I think Kindy's been running around with a fucking flyer. we gotta kill this guy

Rust: on it boss

i imagine that during the olympics, team canada gradually got to know who macklin celebrini is. not the hockey prodigy, the real macklin. the silly one.

sidney perceived macklin as another him. he'd seen mack's game tapes and how he played like every other player was one step behind him. but he didn't expect mack to be so intelligent on the ice, and off it too. despite not knowing who historical figures are, mack could tell you anything about countless romcoms and blockbuster hits.

to sidney, that was the most endearing part about this kid. you could ask him anything about hockey and he'd have an answer quickly, but with movies, books, and music, he thought about it. gave an insightful answer.

in the locker room during a practice stint, mack was grinning at his phone with the widest grin sidney's ever saw. he was letting out small laughs, that were really quiet puffs of air. when the phone tilted, sidney saw smitty as the contact. he'd saw smith and celebrini in the headlines before. the dream duo, the future is teal, etc. he'd even had will in nova scotia with him, mack, and nate.

will was a kind kid, sidney liked him enough. and he and mack balanced each other out. that night, sidney went through some interviews and learned that most of mack's media knowledge was probably because of will. the romcoms, the music, the blockbusters, the books. all of it was probably because of will.

so now, everytime sidney sees mack he sees this silly, goofy kid, not the hockey phenonenom that everyone's raging about.

"it doesn't help that before the final game, sidney found mack in the hallway on a call with will. will was talking in a honey-like voice, soothing mack's nerves. "you got this, superstar.")

Okay I drew this on a bus so don’t mind how shaky it is but it’s kind of a spoiler for the next plot I’m thinking of doing (involving child Mack)

The umbilical connection between Mack and Sid never fails

different anon, but the idea of SidCros stuck on how to give a shovel talk because Ben and Mack are both his children

Macklin really is a SidCros daughter, like genetically. (For more SidCros-Mack relationship, watch this interview)

SidCros tries to figure out how to shovel talk Marty about Kindy and Mack at the same time without it becoming any weirder than necessary. He has a lot of things to say to that flyer, but he needs to structure it because he can't go around scaring the crap out of young players, that wouldn't be very SidCros-like of him and they do need to be able to play together at Worlds. It's all peace, joy, pancakes under the maple leaf (or whatever you say in English).

I think SidCros delivers the Kindy-Shoveltalk when he first arrives at worlds. The Kintone thing is very prominent on his mind, and he needs to say something because he needs a clear head to play well. He had planned to give the Mack-Shoveltalk later, but he's on a roll now so he just goes on with "talking about not hurting feelings, don't you dare do that to Macklin". He's for sure telling Porter that he'll keep a close eye on him, so now Marty feels like he's under constant observation. This is not the kind of attention he wanted from SidCros, but you get what you get.

I love a protective mama bear Sid, like, those are his kids and he's protecting them with everything he has.

i’m gonna choose to believe that sid has only decided to do worlds this year to hang out with his child (mack)
