Do you mean like in 08? Or right now? Those are different Sids
Nope, he would do it with respect.
My reaction when a girl says hi to me and I jizz in my pants:
Such a hard question to answer because Sid never really had to yell. He’s also very much a stoic sorta “lead by example” type, which I’ve always understood McDavid to be as well, but when your back is against the wall like this – after nearly a decade of intense pressure and questions from all sides – I can imagine *any* player doing this honestly.
This is so cringe. Imagine getting yelled at by this nerd
I reject this question. Furthermore, I’m dubious of whatever point you are attempting to make or distract.
No, he would not have had the same speech. I’m not even sure if this counts as a speech. He was vocal in his disappointment. I think Sid is less vocal and more lead by example, particularly early on. He’s become more of a vocal leader throughout his career, but his forte is to model excellence.
The clip of Sid talking to the boys on the bench in ‘16 after Geno missed the open net is the perfect example of the type of leader 87 is. 97 is no where near that level of leadership and never will be. This clip hi-lights that.
It’s hard to imagine Crosby yelling like that. But, before watching this video, it was also hard to imagine McDavid yelling like that, so who knows
No Sid wouldn’t scream like a little bitch, Sid is the quiet leader, he leads by example, might have something to say here and there but when he does it doesn’t involve throwing a tantrum like a 3 year old at the grocery store
Huh. I don’t know to be honest. Prior to seeing the clip in the trailer, I didn’t think Connor had this in him. I’d be glazing if I said there was no way Sid could be like this. There is a bit of nuance, though. One, Sid was incredibly young when he went to the finals. This is McDavid’s first trip to the finals at age 27. It’s hard to make it to the finals let alone win the cup. I’m sure in that moment he felt like this could be his first and last chance.
Did this come out officially?
I agree that McDavid had to say something. He’s got the C on his chest, He’s carried the team to the finals. It just didn’t hit the bullseye.
I also agree with other commenters that Sid has always lead by example, not Rah-Rah, emotional speeches.
As far as the greatest motivational speech in Penguins lore. That goes to Artie:

OP needs to provide more context because I have no idea what this is about.
