Carter: "I still remember walking in that first day and it was like I was there for five years. It's an unbelievable group here, high-character guys. They just accepted me right away, my family right away. It really is a family here." 🥹
The respect Sid and Geno have for Carter is off the charts. Sid was holding back tears talking about him. Geno told me, "He told us a couple of months ago this was probably his last year. Sometimes humans change their mind. I hope he does. But he wants to be with his family now."
“There was one time either early this year or last year, we had to call an emergency goalie,” Crosby said. “One of our goalies got hurt and I think Flower was sick… so we had somebody in the lineup ready to go in as the third. I told them if anything ever happened, I’d love to get the nod. I’d love to play one game in the NHL (as a goaltender). We’ll see. There’s still some time left if it ever came down to it.”
if the Pens end up needing an emergency goalie, the only right answer is Sidney Crosby
