One of the coolest™ things I have seen in a long time

Video Page LinkMy first cousin Ben (one of my brothers really) sent me a URL today that just made me smile from ear to ear.
The Penguins have players deliver season tickets to some holders, and two years ago Sidney Crosby surprised Alice Kilgore of Castle Shannon (a suburb of Pittsburgh) with her tickets.
She has been a season's ticket holder since 1971. When she got over the thrill of having Sid at her house, she told Sidney that she didn't think that the Penguins were ready that year but would be the following year. That's a pretty ballsy and honest prediction to make with Sidney Crosby standing on your door stoop.
She proved to be correct as the Penguins lost to the Red Wings, but beat the Red Wings the next year.
So this year Sidney remembered that and came to Alice's house again with her tickets, but also with a surprise... he brought the Stanley Cup to her house.
You can watch video of the meeting here - just try to avoid rolling over the huge Adobe advert (the first time it's okay... but it gets annoying). The video take a while to start streaming too (it took a minute for me), so just give it a little time.
