"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately....
I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life...
To put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I had come to die, discover that I had not lived."
- Henry David Thoreau | Dead Poets Society

I recently found out the origin of "O Captain My Captain", and it fits Steve so well it's like it was written for him.
O Captain! My Captain! is an extended metaphor poem written by Walt Whitman in 1865 about the death of Abraham Lincoln. The poem is about a captain of a ship who falls dead just as their journey ends and they approach land, a reference to how Lincoln died just as the Civil War was ending.
The amazing thing to me is how this is a perfect reference to Steve as well. Steve dies just as the war is ending, not knowing whether they won or not. He was an important part of the journey, but sadly not a witness of the end.

O Captain! My Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
Growing up, you want to play in the NHL, that’s your dream. You don’t ever know if it’s going to happen. But once you’re able to accomplish that, you just want to play as long as you can. And I love it as much as I did Game 1. I’m grateful that I’ve been able to play this long.
Sidney Crosby respectfully disagrees, sir. And quietly wants to punch you.
