WEBVTT [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] MIKE: WELL, BEFORE WE GET READY TO GO DOWN A PARTY ON THE RIVER AND HAVE THAT SPECIAL MOMENT, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE US AGAIN TO THANK ALL THE PLAYERS, EVERYONE IN THE PENGUIN ORGANIZATION FOR BEING SO KIND TO US THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. YOU COULD FEEL THIS COMING, I THOUGHT, AND THE FIRST ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS FOR THE FANS, AND IT JUST GOT STRONGER AND STRONGER AND STRONGER.

WHEN WE LEFT THE BUILDING AND SAN JOSE THE OTHER NIGHT, THERE WERE SOME STRAGGLERS AROUND, AND I WAS ONE OF THEM. THE BUS CAN BACK FROM THE HOTEL TO PICK US UP. EVERYBODY FILED OUT, AND A FEW PLAYERS WERE THERE. THE LAST ONE TO COME TO THE BUS CARRYING THE CUP WAS SIDNEY CROSBY. AS WE GOT TO THE BUS, YOU COULD HEAR UP THE RAMP AT SAN JOSE, YOU COULD HEAR AND CHANTING -- LET'S GO, PENS. SID WALKED RIGHT BY THE BUZZ, TOOK THE CUP RIGHT OF THE RAMP, HELD IT UP -- LET'S GO, FANS. THEY WERE THRILLED TO DEATH, THE PITTSBURGH FANS THAT WERE THERE. HE SEES IT. HE GETS IT.
