Interesting comments on Pens locker room history from beat reporter Josh Yohe recently. When talking about Geno and Sid's relationship, mentioned how Geno shut down the attempted captaincy coup during Sid's concussion, Josh said "I do think this team is closer. Sid wasn’t really allowed to be the leader back then. This team really is his. And I think it shows."

(He wouldn't say who had been involved in the captaincy stuff but said some people were guessing accurately. The most speculated about culprits are Brooks Orpik, Jordan Staal and Craig Adams.)
