It looked like you were getting a little emotional there towards the end of the opening video. What was it like hearing some of the things Letang and Malkin were saying and to have them be a part of this night too?

“We’ve been through so much together. To be able to play here together, to basically come in together as young players, trying to figure things out, go through what we’ve gone through, whether it be individually or with injuries, being there to support each other, winning championships together. There’s a lot of history there. A lot of great memories. To know that they were part of tonight, and just for all those things to kind of come back as you reflect and think about all those things… definitely hard to keep it together. Didn’t help when I looked over and saw Geno having a hard time too.”

hockey boys having a locker room picnic in their half gear 🥹

Ending with a fun memory from the past couple years: P.O Joseph and Kris Letang would generally speak to each other in French in the locker room when it was just the two of them having a conversation. But when they would bicker like brothers over fun stuff --Joseph not wanting to dress as Barbie for Halloween so Letang could be Ken, Letang not wanting to let Joseph borrow his car, etc. they'd switch to English so everyone else in the vicinity could get caught up on the drama.

Fine, one more fun story: There was a road practice last season where the Penguins had Chipotle catering afterward. Drew O'Connor, not wanting to wait until he was showered and ready to grab his food, just took his jersey off and made himself a bowl and started eating it there in his stall. His next-stall-neighbor Crosby said, "oh, we're doing half-gear lunch?" and followed suit. Crosby then personally went up to a few teammates and invited them to "join the boys for half-gear lunch," and soon enough he, O'Connor and a number of others were sitting in a circle on the locker room floor having a little picnic.
