To understate things, it’s been a great summer for Sidney Crosby.
For the second time, he’s a reigning Stanley Cup champion, and he’s trying to savor it even more this time around.
As you can see from the video above, Crosby was parading through the streets of Pittsburgh with the Stanley Cup. He won the Conn Smythe and carried the Cup around during the 2016 NHL Awards.
Friday marks his day with the Cup - the more official sort - and Crosby’s making his country proud. Here are some of the best shots of Crosby doing his Canadian best to share the joy.
Like any self-respecting Canadian, that includes a trip to Tim Horton’s.
Crosby brought the Cup to a Timmies in Cole Harbour. This is about as Canadian as it gets. pic.twitter.com/Rn7gkgdsB3

His hockey school featured more lucky kids than those onlookers at Tim Horton’s:

The highlight might be this surprise visit, actually:

He really is covering a lot of ground on this fun day:

Such a sprawling trip isn’t keeping Crosby from protecting the sacred trophy, mind you:
