Such a simple gesture that she will remember for the rest of her life. Love that stuff.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

We have been very lucky to have Crosby as the face of the franchise. Class act to represent the city.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Very nice

 

[TNT87]

Truly a heartwarming gesture by a pure class act.

That is great!

Watching various games on center ice, I have noticed that the home players on many teams, when they are one of the 3 stars of the game, give their sticks away to a lucky fan. (Not sure if the Pens players do or not as I always leave before they announce the stars.)

Looked like he wasn't going to give it up at first

Nice guy, our captain.

 

[ColePens]

Damn we are lucky to have 87. So lucky.

Hockey players, in my opinion, seem to be the most "community oriented" out of the main 4 sports. This vid is just another perfect example of that.

Think of how exhausting it must be to carry the attention Sid does 24/7, and yet he handles it so well.

Cute Kid

Crosby>Santa?

LOL though if Crosby had some superstition going with that stick...would have torn him in half!

KDKA brought her and the family in for a segment tonight.
Sid got it signed for her as well.

ETA: Also, i think they switched it out for a brand new one.
You still can't have Sid's real stick, silly! Heh.

Yep. He may not have the flashy numbers that Gretzky and Lemieux have. But he's certainly a once in a life time player.

I'm smart enough to know it's just jealousy and the fact that it's more fun to hate these days, but it's really a shame how fans around the league show so much hate for Sid.

I bet less than 10% of what Sid does for kids and the community gets publicized, which is how I know he wants it.

The guy is a world class human being on top of being best player in the game. Pittsburgh has no idea how lucky it is.
