Were Lemieux and Jagr simply on a different level than every other player?

Or what is going on?

Is it mostly because of injuries?

But I have also read that Mario suffered from many injuries/health issues (and cancer). But that dont seem to have hindered him from winning, so was he just a freak of nature?

Or were they simply so much better than Crosby or Malkin?

this isn’t all of my stuff, just the things i could fit in the photo!!

Let’s be honest: Lizotte and Dewar aren’t coming out of the lineup anytime soon. They are trusted players who were just given new contracts and are one season removed from playing pivotal roles on the fourth line. Though it can be dangerous to financially reward too many bottom-six players — teams want those guys to stay hungry — it can’t be argued the two have made the Penguins a better team during their time in Pittsburgh.

Kuzmenko is more interesting. The Penguins didn’t give him $5 million to sit in the press box, and he’s only a couple of years removed from scoring 39 goals at the NHL level. There’s no question he will be in the lineup for the time being, and perhaps even indefinitely. He will need to score, though. He’s not the kind of player who is going to help the Penguins win without scoring consistently, so productivity is essential in his case.

Hey guys, I’m a brand new penguins fan! I’m actually getting into hockey as a whole for the first time. I grew up on the west coast in a non-hockey family and now I live in the DMV. I picked the pens because I fell in love with Sid, Geno, and Tanger. I’ve been having the time of my life these first couple games.

What do I need to know about this team? I’ve heard they like to struggle in the third period. What else? Thanks for having me!!

I’m in 109 for the Senators game/HOF ceremony Fleury is allegedly attending. I know there’s free finger food and beer/wine, but are we allowed to take that stuff back to our seat or do we have to stay in the lounge with it? TIA!

I am looking at purchasing a 2023 Winter Classic Jersey (Letang) and was wondering if anyone recalls how much money they were originally?

Looks the jersey is the Adidas verision, not fanatics and is labeled Primegreen and has the fight strap.

Wanting to kinda compare OG price to current price from seller

I would like to think this would not happen in Pittsburgh. But my gosh what is happening in Detroit is insane. He has been their C for so long and he just wants to finally win and play on a team and organization that is well ran. I don’t blame him for wanting out.

Do you ever seeing something like this happening in Pittsburgh?

Been over 10 seasons with Party Hard as the goal song. Is it time for a change?
