this is. um.
Vinny Desharnais shared a couple Sid stories in a recent interview:
Phil Gendron: But what’s it like right before a trade happens? You walk into a new locker room and look around—you’ve got Malkin, Crosby, Karlsson, Letang...
What is it like? And what’s Sid really like? Everyone says such great things about him. They say he’s the best human being.
Vincent Desharnais: What everyone says is true. You know, with some guys, that’s not always the case. With them it's the appearances. He’s exactly who everyone says he is. He's the same. We arrived right before the game, for the game. I didn't know anyone there. You play with guys, it's heading into battle without knowing anyone. I knew their names and they knew mine, but we didn't actually *know* each other. So, I arrive to the arena in a suit and tie… I greet everyone “hey, nice to meet you, I'm Vinny. Hey, nice to meet you”. Then Sid walks in wearing just his boxers; he’s in the middle of changing in the dry stalls. He gives me a warm welcome: “Well, you're gonna get a naked hug, man. I'm sorry.” and he gives me a hug. “Hey, I'm Sid. Nice to meet you. Welcome, If you need anything, just let me know." He was in his boxers. I remember thinking, "Wow, that’s really cool." But it's Sid.
Right after the game—it was against Nashville and we’d won that one— he came over to see me and Heinen and he said, "Boys, if you need anything, let me know." He told Heinen, "If your wife has any questions, I’ll put her in touch with my wife, and she’ll take care of her—don't worry."
Phil Gendron: Oh, he's the king.
