"He's a pretty famous guy, but he is just my friend," MacKinnon said. MacKinnon helps keep Sid young, while Crosby shares his knowledge and experience with Nate, who said he went to the Penguins captain for advice during the Final … and took having a room number with "87" in it as a good sign. The two of them genuinely enjoy each other's company and spend a lot of time together, especially when they're back home in the summer, training and hanging out together. Despite being eight years apart and having different personalities - Nate can be more extroverted, while Sid can be more introverted - they get along so well. "Usually, we have really good matchups against them every time we play them, so I'm looking forward to it."Ĭrosby and MacKinnon have such a great relationship. Two greats of hockey from the same spot, so that's pretty cool," said Rantanen, who managed to successfully send Crosby into the dunk tank during the Splash Shot competition. "It's fun that they're from pretty much the same city. Talking with MacKinnon's teammates this past weekend about what stands out to them in regards to the matchup, both Mikko Rantanen and Cale Makar mentioned how unique it is that both Nate and Sid are from Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia. That stretch run will include two marquee matchups against a couple of Crosby's fellow All-Stars at PPG Paints Arena, starting when Nathan MacKinnon and the defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche come to town on Tuesday. It's a big stretch run for a lot of teams, including us, and I'm excited for that." Obviously, this weekend is a little busier, and then we've got a couple days to prepare for our next game. "I'm excited to get back at it," Crosby said.
