Fics like Responsibilities of the Captain

Sid has a lot of responsibilities as captain of the Penguins. He has to come up with new and interesting motivational speeches and deliver them at appropriate times - between periods in a close game, during long and tiring playoff runs, at the beginning of a new season. He has to handle the rookies. Take them out to lunch, welcome them to the team, make sure they have a place to live, handle the emotions that come with making the jump to the NHL, all while dealing with them being terrified of him because he’s Sid. He has to talk to the coaches and front office to make sure everyone’s on the same page about the team’s direction. Of course, he also has to handle some of the older guys, the vets who are stuck in a rut, feeling down on themselves but too embarrassed to turn to him for help - so on top of everything else, he has to make sure to pay attention to everyone so he can jump in before things go too far in a bad direction. One thing that he absolutely point-blank refuses to add to his list of captainly duties, though, is taking care of nesting goalies.
