Sidney Crosby Shows Emotion in Heartfelt On-Air Interview

"-Sidney, I got one final question for you. Listen, you made so many memories for people on and off the ice, but we've got USA hockey hall of famer Tony Granado here, and I got to wonder if you're trying to rally this team. Do you just get that still shot of Tony Granado standing up on the bench yelling over at the other bench? How vivid is your memory of that?

-I love that. Just that image in my head, makes me smile. And obviously, I love Tony. Had a great time, with him here and still keep in touch and, thinking about him all the time and know how strong and, how tough he is. But, that image is always cemented in my head, and I love that.

-That's awesome, Sidney. Thanks so much for your time.

- Thanks, Sid. And, we've been discussing all along how important and how well you represent our game. And as always, after a tough game like this, to take a few minutes and be smiling where your penguins had on forward with pride. Thanks for being Sid. That's just all I got to say. Thank you.

Thanks, Tony. Appreciate it."
