Couple goes viral after getting engaged in front of Sidney Crosby
What’s the feeling finally passing? I mean, it’s kind of mixed emotions, I guess, because you know that’s. You know that number I’ve been kind of hanging around the hockey gods made me earn it. I feel like, uh, the last few games, but, uh, just to get the win, to get *** win in *** shootout, um, it all kind of lined up well tonight. You’ve talked about the recession you’ve had from the fans since day one. I feel like they were just, they were amazing tonight, um, cheering you on. So what was that, the emotions like kind of seeing that support from them and just all these years? Yeah, I mean it’s really special, you’re trying to stay in the game, but also, you know, just try to enjoy the moment too, so. It’s hard to balance that sometimes, especially as you get older, um, you know, you tend to, to look at things *** little bit differently and, um, seeing the, you know, the crowd go quiet when Mario’s message came on, that was uh that was pretty special and um, if you don’t understand the impact he’s had here and you’re here tonight, I think you understand it *** little bit better now, uh, given, um, you know, just how quiet it got, and I think, uh, you know, if there was any. Example of respect. I think it was, it was out there and it was really cool to see that *** little bit more than you thought it would, Sid. I know you were talking to Montreal about getting the 2 points, but it kind of strike you? I think it’s just so much more enjoyable when you know when you get the win. um, I think uh the way things have been going, uh, that’s, that’s been my focus, you know, I think that just trying to play well, win hockey games, let the points take care of themselves, and it can work out *** lot of different ways, maybe not at home, maybe in *** loss, and you know, the fact that it all came, you know, came together here tonight, we got *** big, big win, it adds to it, but uh, yeah, it’s, it’s definitely special and something that uh. You know, I definitely cherish for sure. Can you talk about your relationship with Mario and just how much it means just in, in that terms. I mean, you played with him and, and just, you know, just kind of everything you’ve gone through with him. Yeah, I mean, uh, I just have so much appreciation for, for one, having the opportunity to play with him, you know, you grow up, you know, watching, you know, you never expect you’re gonna make the NHL, let alone play with him. So I had the opportunity to play with him, uh, live with him, you know, learn from him, and, uh, just, you know, the impact that he’s had here. On this team, on and off the ice and you know the impact he’s had on hockey in general, um, you know, it’s, it’s pretty amazing, so I think there’s just *** real appreciation and obviously, you know, the fact that he was *** big part of helping me out and and *** huge influence on me, both him and his family, it makes it even more special so um. Yeah, I could, I could go on and on, but, uh, it, it definitely means *** lot. So is it weird for you to see Mario not be number one on this? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, you’re right, yeah, I mean. He’s still number one in my books and I think uh. Yeah, I mean, I don’t think you can put. *** stat line or *** number on what what he means to, you know, to this team and and to hockey. So, um, yeah, in my mind he’s still number one. Many years ago you said one of the first memories you, you have of the Penguins watching them was his comeback game, which is almost 25 years ago now. Um, when you’re *** fan just watching games on the couch like all of us, you know, what did he mean to you before you got to know him, he’s teammate, all that stuff. Um, It just, it didn’t seem like uh. He was playing in the same league, you know, it’s just the way that he saw the game, the way that he could make plays, um. You know, just his presence, you know, there are so many different things, you know, whether it was here in Pittsburgh or internationally, uh, playing for Team Canada, so many huge moments, um, you know, I think, you know, when you think of him and Wayne Gretzky, you just think they’re, they’re almost bigger than the game itself, you know, I think that’s, that’s how it felt so to be able to, to come here and learn from someone like that, um, you know. To build *** friendship and, and to have, you know, for him to have that impact, uh, it’s, um, I feel pretty lucky and pretty fortunate for those few months in your rookie year. Yeah, it was, it was awesome. I mean, uh, I probably bugged, bugged him *** lot, uh, asked *** lot of questions, um, but no, that’s, that’s how you learn so much is, you know, talking to him and away from the rink, it was great too. We didn’t talk about hockey *** lot, we just got away, but having the opportunity to play in the same line and connect on *** few goals. Uh, those are things that I’ll always remember. So that’s, that’s really special. I must, I would think, I would think they’re somewhere, yeah, yeah. Sid, what does *** shootout win at this point mean for the team? It’s huge. I mean, you look at how close the standings are and you know those points are, are massive. So, uh, hopefully this gets us over the hump. Um, Artie was great, you know, we got two big goals. Hopefully I can find *** way to break through here and. And chip in that way, but, uh, yeah, I mean that’s, that’s *** big boost to confidence I think for, for us to get, get *** win like that. Thanks. Thank you, thanks, congratulations. Thank you.

She didn’t know what I was doing, but I knew that it was happening right now.”Sandra’s son recorded the moment as Mathieu got down on one knee, and as Crosby stopped in front of them, giving them a thumbs-up from the driver’s seat of his vehicle. Sandra, who the organization said is a huge Penguins fan, did not expect the reaction from Crosby but said it made one of the best days of her life more memorable.
