#geno's 500th goal

[yabagofmilfs]

did you envision it, where you guys would become as close as you were?

i did, to be honest with you. that's what i was hoping. i remember watching geno play, and you know obviously he came over my second year, but i was waiting patiently for him to come over and hoping it was sooner rather than later. just having the opportunity to watch him prior to that, knowing how good he was. obviously you don't ever know, but he seemed special right from the start. and i think that yeah i did envision that, that's what i was hoping it would work out as. and it did. and i'm super grateful for it, and i think that whether it's moments like tonight or other things that we've shared, good and bad, that it's been pretty incredible to [...] play with him this amount of time.

It was the gentle thigh pats that did me in 😭

Sid I remember a couple of years ago when you had gotten to 500 goals, Geno said that he hoped that one day you would be able to assist on his 500th. Have you ever thought about how special it is that you guys have been able to share the moments together?

I think about that every time we're in those positions. It's something where you look at certain memories over the years or opportunities, milestones and those are things that you're always gonna remember, and it's fun to be a part of those. We know how close it is and hopefully game 1 we can see him do it.

GENO'S 500TH GOAL - 16/10/24

[ehghtyseven]

malkins, man and boy geno & nikita watching the big screen at geno's 500th goal celebration

and sometimes it's not about watching what's on the screen at all <3

[hockeymarriage]

we've already had so many gifts this season. Geno preseason hatty. sidgeno line. rusty wearing the A. Sid assist on Geno's 500th goal and subsequent teary eyed joint interview. possible haircut-as-punishment for hitting your teammate in the face with a puck. baby goalie powerful starts and even babier goalie Olaf-fan success in the lower leagues. Sid yips. "baby". goofy holiday video. POJO COMES HOME. Raks team Sweden revenge performance. Flower (mostly his kids) cutting the goalie net. "take a picture with me and Legenda". the Malkins and Crosbys at games. Nikita practice. ALEX practice. such riches and I know I missed some things.

Safe and Sound - Sidney Crosby x Reader

Y/n stepped out the lecture hall feeling a lot lighter than the previous night. She had finally completed her exam, and now she could focus on other projects for school. She walked to her car, the breeze heavy for an autumn day in Pittsburgh, with no sun and clouds. She turned her phone back on and got all the messages; some from her friends, some from a group chat, but there was on from Sidney.

“Good luck on your exam! Text me afterwards, I want to know how it went :)”

Y/n smiled as she stared at his text, not knowing how to reply.

She had never been asked these kinds of questions before, maybe from some past classmates after a cruel exam, but never from someone like Sidney.

She sat in her car, setting her backpack down on her passenger seat and shutting her car door.

Her fingers hovered over the letters, trying to think of what to say back.

“It’s over. I thought I did pretty well, thanks for asking”

She hit send and started her car, cranking the heat up.

Her phone buzzed.

“I’m glad it’s over! You studied so hard I bet you are going to get a good grade. We can talk on the phone later? I have some exciting news as well :)”

Y/n froze. Exciting news? From Sidney Crosby?

She started to panic. She put her phone away and pulled out of her parking spot.

Her mind was racing, a million different thoughts running through her brain. Ever since she met Sidney and he has taken her under his wing, his version of exciting news is different than hers.

To her, exciting news was getting a bonus on her paycheck or realizing she had enough money for gas in her bank account when she thought she did not.

To Sidney, exciting news was getting his 500th goal or getting to 1000 points, or getting a new suite made for his pregame walk into the arena.

Her thoughts consumed her entire drive back to her apartment. She pulled into her parking lot, grabbing her bag and shutting her car door shut.

Y/n unlocked her door, walking into the warmth and vanilla scented sanctuary.

She placed her bag down on the ground and within seconds, her phone was ringing.

It was him.

She took a deep breath and answered.

“How’s my girl doing?” Sidney said warmly.

Y/n’s heart fluttered at the nickname; his girl.

“Hi Sidney” she mumbled, playing with her sleeves.

“You finished the exam? How did it go?”

Y/n smiled as she moved into her kitchen.

“It was long and not as hard. I’m glad I studied and…”

She trailed off, searching for the right words.

“…I’m glad you had me take the break last night, I really appreciate it.” She murmured.

“I’m glad the break worked. You deserved it” Sidney said.

There was silence on the phone and y/n broke it.

“So you had some good news?”

Sidney cleared his throat, “yes! I do. Remember how I mentioned the night of assists last night? Well the schedule is set and it’s the beginning of February, and I’m bringing you along”

Silence. Y/n froze in place, putting her glass of water down.

“Me? The charity event? I thought that was for significant others and not random people-“

“Y/n. Stop it. You are not a random person in my life. You are family now. And, they changed the rules this year. We are able to bring family members that are not significant others. So I’m bringing you.”

Y/n sighed out, not in a frustrated way but more in a nervous way.

“I know it’s early and only December, but I wanted to let you know ahead of time so you can think about it. It is ok if you do not want to come, but I would love to have you there. I know Geno and you need to catch up on making fun of me, and you and Tanger need to catch up on the ridiculous reality tv shows that you watch.”

Y/n giggled. She moved to her bedroom and sat on her bed.

“I do want to come I’m just nervous is all. I don’t even know what to wear or what to-“

“Sweetheart, you have nothing to be nervous about. I’ll arrange to have a stylist choose your outfit so you have nothing to worry about.”

A stylist??? She didn’t have the money for that.

“Sid I don’t have the money for a stylist..”

Sidney chuckled on the other end, but it was a soft one.

“Oh baby girl you don’t have to pay for it. It’s on me.”

Y/n sighed, “Oh ok I’m sorry I just thought…”

“You have nothing to be sorry for, y/n. I think it’s so cute you were worried about having to pay for it, but it’s on me and you do not have to worry about a thing for this, ok? Let me take care of you.”

She picked at the loose thread on her blanket, and nodded.

“Ok, Sidney. I’ll let you handle it. Thank you” she said shyly.

“I’m glad that is settled. I’ll send you information on the stylist later this week. I gotta go to practice now, ok? I’ll text you afterwards.”

Y/n smiled as she continued to play with the loose thread.

“Ok. Have fun at practice.” She said.

“I will. But if you need anything, call or text me. If I don’t answer, call Tanger.”

She chuckled, “I don’t even have his phone num-“

She was cut off by a buzz, and Sidney had sent her his contact, labeled “Tanger”

“Now you do” Sidney said cheekily.

Y/n rolled her eyes and they said their goodbyes and hung up.

She placed her phone beside her on the bed and hugged her knees to her chest.

This was completely crazy; the she was invited to the Night of Assists with the Pittsburgh Penguins and would be going with Sidney Crosby.

Sorry I'm obsessing over the unexpected romanticism of hockey again but how can you not when Evgeni Malkin had the only assist on Sidney Crosby's 500th goal and tonight Sidney Crosby had the only assist of Evgeni Malkin's 500th?

How can you not look at that and not see it as devotion; as love in the deepest sense? Without getting just a little shaken to the core when you think about the two decades they've spent together; without inherently understanding that any story told about either of them in the future, of which there will be many, it will be woefully, devastatingly incomplete without the other intertwined in every word?

Tell me Sid & Geno's hockey isn't one of sport's greatest love stories, and I will tell you to look again.

[larryleeds]

can’t wait to see the 500th geno goal assisted by sid’s 1600th point in front of a home crowd. the soulmateism of it all

[feddy-34]

i deadass dont have words left in me for sidgeno.

what do u mean sid assisted on his 500th goal. what do you mean he's assisted over 100 of geno's goals. more than any of geno's actual line mates. what do u mean did got his 1600th point off it.

why are they so deeply intertwined? any mention of one cannot come without the other. they've shared the highest highs, the lowest lows, they've taken this team from rock bottom to the stanley cup finals, and come away with three titles.

we are so lucky to have witnessed their greatness

[idontlikeem]

God I feel awful for Geno and I hope he and his family are unharmed. For his sake I hope Nikita wasn’t inside when it happened 😞 What’s with the recent string of burglaries on pro athletes lately?

I don’t think Nikita is in town- he wasn’t at any game I attended last week, so hopefully that means he’s in Florida with Anna and the house was empty. Based on the article, it seems like it might have happened during Saturday’s game against Ottawa—there was something that seemed to indicate that in the article and then “911 was called several hours later”, like they discovered it after the game when they got home. Still horrible and violating but at least planned and executed with nobody around.

It is wild that this is an FBI matter. I don’t know why all of a sudden THIS season there’s a crime ring targeting athletes but it’s so so strange. In theory, the FBI being involved means there’s a higher chance of recovery, but it all depends on if this escalated to the point where the thieves have buyers in advance—if so that would make them a lot harder to track. If not, though, the FBI will have more resource and access to places an item like a personalized Stanley Cup ring would be “listed”, so to speak, or the diamonds if they decide to take it apart and sell in parts.

The other thing is—this is of course horrible and upsetting, but if the ONLY things taken were the rings, I’m sure there would be no issue getting them re-made. They wouldn’t be the same exactly but they’d still be his rings, with the same value. There are definitely other items he has that on their face are less valuable and less of a target, but are also less replaceable—game-used jerseys and sticks, pucks, autographed items. He can’t get the jersey he was wearing when he was presented with the Conn Smythe remade, for example, or the puck from his 500th goal. So I hope it WAS just the rings.
