Vinny Desharnais on playing with Crosby
sans restriction | ep 533 (54:35)
when i was traded, he send me a text right away, he finished the text, the second part of the text was in french, he was like "good luck my guy"
he didn't need to do that. he's the best guy/capitain i've ever met. for the 30 days i was there all the things i saw, i learned about him, how he behaves, how he treats ppl, no matter if it's the jannitor, the GM or the cleaning guy, doesn't matter, he will treat you the same, he'll shake your hand, look you in the eyes, say thank you, say please, if anybody say/does anything inappropriate he'll be like hey apologise he's like, there's a limit, everyone's respectful. what everyone says of him that's what he is
and you only saw that in 30 days
in the sense that you were on there for 24 days but you're able to talk to me about him this way
call i tell you a story about Sid ? me and Boko [Imama] we'll remember forever. me, Boko, Tanger, and Sid, it was my last night with PIT, we had lost against COL, we stayed the night at the hotel, we had dinner in the hotel dinning room, everyone was there, we continue to eat and everyone leaves and we're just us four, we take drinks (wine) chill and they [Sid and Tanger] stay with us, we were there from 11pm to 1:30am just talking with Sid and Tanger. Boko asked Sid why do you always sign 8.87, Sid said : i always wanted to stay competitive, i wanted to keep bringing players in, keeping a margin for that, and i wanted to show other guys hey take less you don't need to maximise, it's enough, 8 is plenty you don't need more. we were also talking about his family, my family too, we talked about bo then tanger too, it was so cool, real down to earth, i've never had that you know you grow up it's Sid Sid, but there, it wasn't Sid the superstar, it was Sidney Crosby the human being, i had the chance to see that, the chance to sit down and talk. Tanger it's more casual because i see him every summer and we're both quΓ©bΓ©cois but Tanger has an incredible career, we forget about him. then we go to bed and the next morning me and Bo we say to each other "do you realize what happened last night" he tells me "man i went to bed and i went nuts" "me too i was brushing my teeth looking at myself in the mirror like dude do you realise what just happened ? you had a casual conversation with him". just for that i'll do pittsburgh again
