Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have spent two decades together, and now Crosby has fought back tears when addressing their relationship.

For the past 20 years, Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have been leading the Pittsburgh Penguins, leading the organization to immense success throughout that time, including three Stanley Cup victories.
Throughout that time, the two have obviously grown close, and while neither have expressed their emotions about their relationship publicly, they are clearly as close as two NHL players can truly be.

Sidney Crosby Fights Back Tears Hearing How Much He Means To Evgeni Malkin

Recently, Amazon Prime were doing a piece on their relationship to promote Monday Night Hockey on Prime, revealing a story of how Malkin has nesting dolls of Crosby in his house.
During that same interview, Malkin was asked what Crosby means to him and his family, and he ended his statement with this beautiful sentiment, calling Crosby part of his family too;
I hope my son thinks of him as family. I do.



Crosby then revealed he didn't know about any of this, clearly fighting back tears after hearing how much Crosby not only means to Malkin himself, but to his son as well, showing just how much love there is in this relationship.

Ultimately, this may be the final year that the two play together with Malkin set to be a free agent at the end of the current season, but after 20 years together, it's clear the two have grown close with the success this team has had, with NHL fans set to remember the duo as one of the best in league history.
