Lemieux’s leadership saved the team from leaving, built a new arena, had a 633-game sellout streak, has kept the game’s most popular player happy and in Pittsburgh for nearly two decades, did extensive charitable work… and won 3 Cups.
If this is the end, hell of a run.
Sidney Crosby plays his 1000th game for the Penguins tonight.
3 Stanley Cups, the Golden Goal, every award you can name, worked through countless concussion scares, never an ounce of drama, no social media, team-friendly deal.
I don’t know how we could ever be grateful enough.
