“Sid, we have a lot of memories. And my best one: when I come to Pittsburgh first time. We have dinner, me, you, Mario, and Gonch, and we first time met each other. And now, after 15 years, I want say to you congratulations on 1000th NHL games. You not Sid the Kid anymore. You old man. But it's still great leadership, great teammate. I love play with you, not against you. And I want say, you more professional hockey player I ever see. I hope one day you come to Moscow and we spend good time, me and you. And again, you amazing player. I want say, more goals for you, more points, more games, and, of course... more cups. Best wishes for your family, for you. Good luck. Your friend, Geno. And pass me puck!”
