GDT: Sidney's Silver Stick Night, 1000 games and counting - 19:30EST

[AuroraBorealis]

In all seriousness, getting to watch Sid's whole career has been a privilege I don't take lightly. People around the NHL will realize what they had when he's gone.

Yeah next core wont be as good to watch as I have said in the past.

Blasphemy! Sidney Crosby Day can only be on August 7...I can’t believe superstitious Sid would accept such an honor on 2/20...

That's his retirement day, but what year?

Well putting skill aside, the league will be hard pressed to find such a great ambassador again. A role model for aspiring athletes all over the world.

Funny is, I've been looking at a bunch of goat gifs.

Hit the exercise bike for an hour and lifted for another one. Just downed 3 pre shower shots of Baileys to prep for this game and will be having some Coors and Za to commemorate Sid's 1000th game. I think he would've wanted it this way

Willing to bet Barzal really brings it tonight to try and "show up" Sid

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Geno won't hit 1,000 until next year, but I really hope they do something similar to recognize Malkin. I know Crosby is the captain and someone who has become intrinsically linked with the city of Pittsburgh and the NHL, but Malkin deserves something big, too, when the time comes next year.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Go team. Do the thing.


I hope Sid has a huge game. The kind that makes people realize the soft headed one still has a lot of gas left in the tank and 33 is baby age. 5pt night should suffice.

Also please repeat the defensive performance back to back.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

It would be really cool if Sid could have a "vintage Sid" points explosion tonight to celebrate 1000 games. But knowing our luck, we lose 4-0.

And yes I'm a pessimistic f***er. Now get off my lawn, you darn kids.

Shots of Baileys? To each their own I suppose.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Knowing the Pens he’ll get hurt and blame the bad luck of his 1000th game. Or get a hat trick. Or both.

 

[Rakell67]

I predict Sid will be a healthy scratch right before game time and then is traded mid game to Colorado.

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

Awesome GDT. Congrats to Sid! Yeah, we've been super lucky to have Mario and Sid.

 

[BHD]

Maybe not in this thread, but we need a thread where we post our favourite goals from #87.

Also, good job on the GDT @Clare2904

 

[SouthGeorge]

I'm sure Letang will somehow ruin this great night.

It's just what was here tbh. And to be real honest, its Kirkland brand lol. It's a little late to have it in coffee

 

[HandshakeLine]

Can we make it more like Portland's annual Dead Moon day? Maybe get Sid an oversized throne?

Drinking Baileys is considered a traitorous, actionable offense on Pens vs Islanders gamedays.

Crosby should have worn a Rodrigues jersey.

Good lord, that 4th line.
