Whatever.

the journey of SIDNEY CROSBY & EVGENI MALKIN from 2006 to 2019

Polly Pockets,

Beanie Babies,

Tamagotchi,

Slip N’ Slide,

And Satan Furbies,

Listened to the Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, NSync and the Spice Girls

On Hit Clips, a Boom Box, or a Walkman,

Collected and traded Pokemon cards,

Wrote with Gel Pens,

Wore butterfly clips,

And Snap Bracelets,

And remember watching these guys:

You are a 90s kid.
