As a lifelong Flyers fan, my immense HATE for the KID has slowly grown to MAD RESPECT over the years, but not doubt it will revert back to the former for the next couple wks !!! 😉
87 is the best.
Great player. Even better human
Gonna be a different city when 87 decides to hang em up. Thank you Sid 🐧
They are the flattest team in the league dropping their last 3 to mediocre teams, resting makes you weak, wouldn’t surprise me if they get swept in the first round
No one wears that C like 87.
he is too old to be a menace
Somewhat unrelated, but the argument of MJ vs. Lebron, I would compare MJ to Lemieux or Gretzky (incredible skill). I feel like Lebron is like Jagr (incredibly skilled, but a little below, but also around forever).
Sid is on the Mount Rushmore of hockey all time.
Tanger is a handsome cat tho
Love how both Tanger and GENO just show up. God I love this team, LET'S GO PENS! Also the fact that Sid just drove by an outdoor hockey rink in Montana, stopped and suited up just to practice shows how dedicated he is.
Just pure class. Excited for this playoff run. Let’s go Pens!
As a lifelong Flyers fan I used to loathe this man…..at least on the ice and especially against The Flyers. I’ve grown to have such respect for him, he seems like an awesome guy and there are a lot of players in The NHL that make a good bit more money than him and he is still better than some of-those players at his age, even though he still looks 30 tops.

LeBron can't carry MJs jock
Class act indeed. Thanks for bringing him in Pat.
Bring Kessel back for the run!!!
The even distribution of the puck marks on the dryer almost makes it look like it's an intentional design lol
Flyers are one of the hottest teams right now. Pitts got a handful.
I’m glad I don’t suck someone off as a fan of a sport like those stupid pissburgh fans. It’s cringe at this point
Guys don’t even have the beach over there
Lets Go Flyersssss
Thank you Sid
Pens in 6.
i was rooting for sid to win gold
They should of mentioned Logan Cooley growing in Sids Young Pens Program and now could potentially play him in the Stanley Cup Finals
What's the over-under for the Flyboys to try to take out Crosby? I say the first two shifts in Game 1.
New video title “Group of Americans nitpick an elite Canadian hockey player’s accent for 25 minutes”😂
What a great interview! Let’s go pens!
Just change his name from Captain Canada to Captain Hockey at this point honestly
Suck it Syd! The boys are coming for you!
Respect the player 👏, not this series crybaby crosby
Lets Go Flyers!!!
As a Flyers fan, I do not like you, not even a little bit. Not at all!! I respect you but I do not like you, I can't stand you, sid the 🐀
Holy cringe, accents were embarrassing… amateur hour
International hockey will always be on top because it's the last of the true blue collar mentality sports. At a time when most other sports seem to be in competition to play as little as possible, hockey culture is a breath of fresh air away from that
The homies questions are always really long and contain 4-5 questions. Can't ask a question longer than the answer will be.
No way thy got the Kid
One of the greatest to ever lace them up
The Yous vs the Yinzers
Great interview
Hockey is going to be so different when he's done, glad I get to see at least one more run with him
Sid hitting a random ODR in Montana for fun is awesome
All respect to Sid but somehow i get the feeling McAfee doesn't really know hockey.
Why is 2012 yellow? Flyers crushed em.
Really wish YouTube would stop recommending this garbage show. Go Pens.
what a legend. top 5 hockey player of all time. we owe him so much! lets go….pens!
Loved it when Malkin and Tanger crashed Sid’s interview 😂😂😂
Flyers in 6
The single classiest, most upstanding figure in the history of sports.
Flyers fan here, nothing but love for Sid the Kid. Easily one of the greatest of all time.
Is Pat high? How this guy is popular is beyond me.
