Effortless sexy.
What more can you say about this two-way beast, a man of intense character and integrity who gives back to his community while being the consummate team player and re-directing criticism to himself.
Sidney Crosby is not simply a hockey player, he's a template for generations to come that yes, you can be a near-Selke finalist and still contribute, that hockey players are not perhaps as bland as we'd make them out to be and that playing hockey the right way will always matter more than any individual point totals or awards.
Sid, thank you for gracing us with your immeasurable skill and attention to detail, you're one of the best.

Class act and one of the best to ever play the game. As someone who turned an age where you really start to follow sports intensely when Crosby was drafted, an NHL with Sid is all I know.
Will be weird and sad without him when he’s gone.

This would be even more unusual if he was turning 87 years old today.

man I can’t believe he is already 37.
It will be a sad day in hockey once he and Ovi retire. That will be the day I’ll officially feel old.

You are old? I watched Gordie Howe play in that last season after the WHA/NHL merger. Sid is a kid compared to me.

I was born 2 days after him.
I've never felt older or less accomplished.
Happy birthday and f*** you, Crysby.

I saw Birthday 87 and thought you were talking about @Gee Wally
Sid could BE my kid. Seriously. And I'm not talking about being a late-teen, early-20s parent.

I'm sure he'll still be working out at the rink by the time he's 87.
ha!
Happened to me when Chelios retired
Happy Birthday L87 !
love Walter !
I hate to be that guy, but actually 99, 4, 9 and 66 are on the Mount Rushmore of hockey players, no room for others like 8, 68, or 87.
Fun fact: It's also the 37th anniversary of the shitty Masters of the Universe movie that was also released on this day in '87.
....I'm still waiting for the sequel, because why would Frank Langella lie to me?
