what if you were my idol turned best friend who everyone in the league knew i was completely gone for. and what if i drafted you first on the team i was captaining for the all star game after begging the captains going before me not to pick you. and what if absolutely nobody was surprised. what if the emcee and tate mcrae already knew who i Wanted Before Going To Bed last night and i was so crazypossessive even sports writers knew i’d pulverise anyone who took you from me. and what if i told reporters after that this was my longtime dream come true. and what if you said all you wanted to do now was to make your captain happy, and told the boys that you Listen to your captain. and what if… after all that... you put my hoodie on and did a live interview in front of god and gary bettman.

└ Sidney Crosby grinned when asked about the dynamic with captain Nate MacKinnon: "We'll see. It'll be interesting. He’s competitive, so I’m sure he’ll be demanding."
