nate talking about the two loves of his life, sid and jo 😂

On if MacKinnon and Sidney Crosby will ever play together.

“I hope so. I’m hoping, I don’t know what’s before the 2026 Olympics, there might be something, but I guess the main thing I’m focused on is the Olympics. I think Sid has a ton of game left. I think he can play as long as he wants to, honestly. I’m a believer that primes are a little longer now, and if you do the right things, look at guys like him, Pavelski. There’s lots of examples of guys very successful in their 30’s and I think Sid’s going to be a great player 2-3 years from now. Hopefully I can stay good enough to make that team, and play together.”

On who he likes to watch when he’s not playing…

“I think Sid. I watch a lot of Pittsburgh games. I watch Brayden Schenn as well. Just two good friends of mine. Tyson Barrie in Nashville, and then I love watching Kucherov. I think everyone does. If you asked everybody’s favorite player in the NHL, I think they’d say Kucherov. I think everyone is a big fan of his. Obviously McDavid is McDavid. I like watching Pastrnak, he’s a right handed shot guy. Big fan of the game.”

On Jonathan Drouin…

“First of all, I know he’s a great person, and he’s even better as a person than 10 years ago when we were in High School. His talent, it’s still there, you can see it this season. He had a slow first 10 games, just getting comfortable, and now he’s taken off. He’s looked awesome. We’re playing together on a line, and he’s earned it. He was getting healthy scratched and still had a smile on his face everyday. He took less money to come to us, which is great, but I just felt like the value he would bring, I just felt like there’s so much more there. I can’t speak on Montreal, but I know in Denver, it’s pretty good. There’s not a ton of pressure. He can kind of do his thing and fly under the radar. He even talks about just going to the grocery store now, he’s just a civilian living his life, and I think he really enjoys that…he loves hockey. He watches every game, like he really loves the game. We can just talk about anything, and I think when you have a friend from your childhood, pretty much, you just feel so comfortable with them. We drive together a lot, on road dinners, we go every time together. We do a lot of the same workouts together. We’re just together all the time in the gym, after practice, we’re just on the same page with everything, which is awesome. You don’t find that a ton, that friendship, so I’m grateful that we are teammates again, and we’ve had a lot of fun together this year.”

Evgeni Malkin: "We have a lot of memories, and my best one is when I came to Pittsburgh for the first time and we had dinner. Me, Sid, Mario (Lemieux) and (Sergei Gonchar). It was the first time we met each other. And now, after 15 years, he's not 'Sid the Kid' anymore. He is an old man (laughs). But he is a great leader, great teammate and the most professional hockey player I have ever seen."

Kris Letang: "I've been with him for 15 years, so it's tough to say one thing. Sid would just come up with me to pick my son up after school and sit around and wait for the kids to come out. He would bring him Gatorade and just spend a little bit of time with Alex.

Jake Guentzel: "I think the first time I got called up in training camp, I didn't really know anyone. He went out of his way and took 10 minutes of his time and just came and talked to me. He shook my hand and introduced himself and told me if I ever need anything, he'll be there for me. So just being a young guy who doesn't really know anyone, that just made me feel really comfortable."

Max Talbot: "After we won the Cup in '09, Geno and I went to the Awards in Las Vegas, brought the Cup and everything. Sid was still hurt, so he didn't go, but he met us in Miami. We're not even a week away from winning the Stanley Cup, his first one. We're on the beach, just relaxing and stuff. We go to dinner that night, hang out, go to bed pretty late. The next morning I show up for breakfast in my bathing suit just going to lay on the beach again. I see Sid with his running shoes on and he's going to run. I'm like, 'what are you doing?! What are we doing?'' He was like, 'well, let's prepare to win another Cup.' And I'm like 'dude, relax (laughs).' That just shows how driven he is. He's already thinking about the second Cup. I was like, 'I'm not following you there. I'm going to relax and get a tan (laughs).'"

Dr Dharmesh Vyas: "There's a lot of things that Sidney and I have shared together, but probably the one that comes to mind the most is what he does for my two girls during warmups any time they're down there at the glass watching him from Suite 66. They usually stand there and then he stealthily comes up next to the glass with his back to the glass, and he takes a bunch of snow from the ice and then dumps it on their heads. They know it's going down, but they play along and look around like, where did that come from? They're wearing Crosby jerseys, so it's especially funny for them. He's done this for years. It's unusual for him, because he's a creature of habit, but he'll change up his routine just to do that. He always asks them if they're sleeping well, and tells the girls sleep is a weapon."
