Sidney Crosby caught partying and speculations emerge!

When Colorado Avalanche star player Nathan MacKinnon won the Stanley Cup last month, he mentioned how he expects a lot from his close friend Sidney Crosby. He warned the Pittsburgh Penguins’ captain that he better be ready to celebrate in their hometown of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia.

“I’ve been the drunkest guy at two of his, so he better be the drunkest guy at mine.”

The Avalanche has been partying since and when a video emerged of Crosby having a good time in a bar, many pundits thought it was the time where fans would see him hammered thanks to MacKinnon.

Here is the video in question, by a Tik Tok user meatbag29:

The footage went trending, of course, and prompted many to assume that Sid was drunk because he was partying with MacKinnon in Nova Scotia.

However, when Bardown responded that it looked like Crosby was holding his end of the deal with the Avalanche forward, MacKinnon quickly got things straight, saying he had yet to see Crosby since winning the Cup on June 26th:

We do not doubt that Crosby is happy for his friend. Right after the championship was won by Colorado, the famous number 87 stated: “I am really happy for Nate. I know how much it means to him and his family. I have seen how hard he’s worked to achieve this and glad that he’s got rewarded and gets to experience everything that comes with winning. It’s special.”

Earlier in the series, MacKinnon had revealed how he reached out to the Penguins’ captain for advice throughout Colorado’s run to the Final. It seems to have paid off and we are sure he will take the time to celebrate with his close friend.

However for now, let Crosby have some fun on his own during the offseason.
