Sidney Crosby Great Quotations

Hockey's lost a great player and a great person. I don't think it will change anything for me, but this happening makes a lot of the younger guys realize what he meant to the team and the city. It makes you want to do things for the team and the city that he did, because the city has been unbelievable to us. It's just treated us great. We've got great fans here.

That's probably the highlight of my career. I scored a couple goals, it was a fun game. We made some great plays, some fun plays. That sticks out in my mind.

He's been awesome. I think especially for the younger guys, it's been great having him show us the way. He's a great leader. We really hope he comes back. I think he's meant a lot to us, and he's been playing great hockey, too. So, we definitely hope to see him back. I'll try to talk to him and convince him.

He's been a positive ever since he got here. He had a couple nice hits the last couple games. He's not the biggest guy, but he plays big and he has a big heart. That's important on any team and he's got to keep doing that. He's been great for us.

He's a good goalie and made a great save.

Individually, it's going to help me to push myself more to play with guys like that, ... Playing games with guys like that is great but practising is where you're really going to benefit. Seeing their habits is definitely going to help me.

I don't think one moment sticks out more than any other. It was just great to play with him. We had a great game on the Island (against the New York Islanders) and scored a couple of goals. It was really fun. And the game against Atlanta where he scored five points -- that was memorable, too. I'll never forget that.

I don't think we're overjoyed. Wins are expected, and that's the way it needs to be. I don't think we're up on Cloud Nine. It's a great win and we will not take anything away from it, but we have a lot of games left and we have to take the good things from this game and carry them on.

It's a little bit overwhelming seeing this kind of reaction to my arrival, but I guess I'm prepared for it, ... I heard that there was a lot of excitement in the city. I heard how Pittsburgh was a great sports town.

We should be. It's great to see they did so well. As a group of guys, we want to do the same thing.

I think that we gave them momentum when we took those penalties. You can't give a great team like that chances because they are going to take advantage. We just weren't able to fight those off and that was the difference in the game.

Oh yeah, I noticed it. Everyone was standing up. He's a great player. I watched that playoff run.

Who better to mould him than the greatest player ever.

It was fun when I found out I'd be playing against him tonight. We became great friends. He played great tonight. It was healthy competition, and it was fun to see it from that side.

He's got a great shot. We just have to get him the puck and he's going to take advantage. He's just hot right now. It seems like every chance he gets he's finding a way to put it in. we want to keep getting him the puck. If he keeps playing like that he's going to be successful.

When I first saw it, I was pretty sure it hit the back bar. He made a great shot, and I saw the referee right there, and I think he was pretty sure it went in, too. There wasn't much time where I thought it wasn't going to be a goal.
