0:36.7

i mean the hundredth meeting between him and Sidney Crosby to beat the Penguins at home in front of a raucous home crowd, you know, ready to send him off. If that was his final performance at Capital One Arena, it was a great way to go out. I'm in the camp that I don't know what he's going to do.
