PITTSBURGH -- A Pittsburgh Penguins fan in Canada who put a sign outside his home asking team captain Sidney Crosby to sign his jersey got an unexpected knock on the door last week.
Darryl Pottie had placed a hand-painted sign on the road outside his Enfield, Nova Scotia, home that read, "Sid, please sign my jersey."
Crosby was in the area after showing off the Stanley Cup to his hometown of Halifax.
On Friday, while Pottie was at work, the Penguins center knocked on the door. Pottie's wife answered and said Crosby told her: "Hi, I'm here to sign the jersey."
Crosby signed several jerseys and took photos with Pottie's wife and daughter.
Pottie told WTAE-TV he's thrilled to have the signed jerseys and a "good story" but wishes his wife would have called him.
