pretty cool interview Hooks. I’m actually quite surprised that the person who helps him the most with media relations and such is Sykora. I always thought that Gonch was his go to guy. You learn something every day. I guess Geno must feel the same as Sykora in wanting to continue to play together for years to come.

And what about the relationship with Sidney Crosby?

I think it’s more than just being a teammate. I’d call it friendly. We always keep in touch, communicate. When I went to the All-Star game, he text me and wished me luck.

I really like hearing things like that. Reminds me that it’s not just about talent, who’s the best individual player in the league, but about teammates being friends on and off the ice. Never here him do anything but praise Sid, good stuff.
