The CrosbyShow in Rimouski tonight (retired jersey 87)

[crosbyshow]

Hi.
I am from Montreal. This week everybody in our province talks about the event of tonight (Rimouski Oceanic will retired his number 87) in Rimouski (Quebec).

Sidney will be in Rimouski tonight and will deliver a speech in French. Everybody loves the player obviously but also the man.

Guy Boucher (former coach of Tampa and Ottawa) was the assistant coach in Rimouski (junior) in 2003 to 2005. He gave an interview in French 2 days ago and everybody loved that interview. He talked about Sid's personnality at 16 years old. He said that he has never met an athlete like Crosby. At 16 he said, I talked to him and it was like I talked to a 30 years old man.

He said that Crosby trained since he was 9 years old, all summer long 2-3 times a day..

Also one day in Rimousky..Crosby was driving his car (17 at the time) and saw thousands of people all around the arena waiting in line in a cold day of March...
Crosby asked : What are they waiting for....and Boucher explained him that people waited for tickets sale for the upcoming playoffs.

Then Crosby decided to goTim hortons and purchased hundreds of Coffee , Donuts etc..packed it in his car and did many trips to the arena and gave that to the fans...shook their hands and thanked them to be there for the team .


The event of tonight will be broadcast live on RDS (French Sports channel in French).

Interview in French of Boucher about Crosby's unique personnality (amazing interview)

This is main boards worthy IMO

Great game to do it too. Rimouski and Sherbrooke are two of the top teams this season.

Pittsburgh is really lucky to have Crosby, not just for his contributions to the team, but because he's a great role model. He has as bright a spotlight shining on him as any athlete in the city and for a decade and a half he's stayed positive through adversity, scandal-free, and the more we learn about what he does when he's not playing, the better of a person he seems to be. I think a lot of kids look up to him, and he sets a great example of how to act like a professional and use money/influence to do good. He's been way more than just a sports hero, for sure.

Obviously he's not the only athlete who's a positive role model, but I think he's proven to be one of the best out there.

And I am going to watch for sure!

The ceremony for Sid + watching Lafreniere play. Worth it.

Your loss. Could watch IMFC lose every Saturday ....

 

[Jacob]

He’s faking it.

He’s faking it.

Wish I could find that youtube video of the Wings fan calling Crosby overrated and saying he's not that good.

Watching a stream at the "opposite of off" and the game we talk about, no spaces.

Q commish said they are retiring his #87 league wide at the start of the '21 season i believe he said?
Gave him a cool portrait that had Mario dead center then Sid, Luongo, Lecavalier or Richards and one other guy.

Sid's speaking now...

ETA: Sid's actually tearing up. The dude loves this place and the people there.
Eric Neilson, his best buddy/roommate almost teared up as well.
Said usually the older guy teaches the younger brother but Sid taught him alot and said it was a testament to how he was raised by Trina and Troy.

His gal is there with 'em, sister and parents of course.

Eric Nielsen was the highlight so far.

Yea i edited my post. He started to tear up too.
I actually know Eric's father. He comes from my hometown.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Gave a shoutout to Poulin and the current team.
What a class act this dude is.

ETA: And he's done. Gave the crowd some french to end it.

Letang helped him with the French part or at least so said Kris on Quebec TV this week

 

[WayneSid9987]

I imagine PensTV is there somewhere.
They'll have some stuff no doubt.

Sid is so uncomfortable being honored.

Here's some pic grabs:

Proof i wasn't lying(heh):

And a group pic with everyone(not my best, sorry. Sid's gal on far right, his sis(Taylor) next to her:

I hope he takes over for GMJR or whoever comes after him.

I won’t allow it unless it’s with Pittsburgh.

Watch him be Philly’s GM

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Mario probably thinks the same as you do, so we should be good.

Dude idiolizes Yzerman. I figure he's gonna try to do something similar.
I do wonder if he'd do as good as Steve has done tho...

This is gross to think about. I mean even Stevie Y left Detroit (before returning). Don't ever do it to us Sid. NEVER!!
