My man. :fist:

First thing I see is just how normal sized Pronger looks when compared to Lemieux. Those were two really big men that I don't think most now can appreciate. That breakaway goal - vintage Lemieux move. Same one he used on that bum in Philly during his last game.

During the World Cup and euro championships, the cameramen purposely try to find the hottest women in the entire stadium. During pens games, they uhhh, dont do that

Pronger with a team-best 2 points and a team-worst -3.

Is 12:33 of the 2nd in that video? Seems like some fireworks happened.

Nope, but I was curious about that too...apparently Leroux had additional tape over his knuckles when he fought Twist...which, it's clear that he did...

30 second mark of that video is the most lateral skating ability Leroux ever displayed. That dude was a first round pick. The 80s were a weird time.

Leroux hit a 200mph shot off the iron in ‘95 against the devils. One of my most frustrating “hit the post” memories. He had a canon, IIRC but didn’t know how to hockey, so it went unused. I wanted to see him get one.

So Leroux was basically Fulton Reed.

I remember the 4OT game vs Washington. Leroux was the fastest player on the ice by 3OT

The Pens got a 3rd round pick out of him from Colorado. That might be the most amazing thing done in his career.

Man what a great pull by Pavel. That 4th goal was vintage Mario and man oh man was Pronger abused.

There's nothing that pumps me up more than the combination of the Civic Arena crowd roar when the puck goes in the net plus a John Barbero Mario lemieux goal announcement

My daughter drove my car to school today. I have a Pens sticker on the back window. Apparently the parking attendant didn't like it. Haha. Image

Okay well image imbed isn't working but she got a fine of a million bucks for being a Pens fan.

The Pronger thing shocked me. I believe Pronger is 6’7” and he looked like a small twig against Lemieux. Heck I remember seeing a Pens vs. Blues game at some point and was near the glass for warm ups. Pronger stopped by the glass doing something and… he’s just a massive human. Something like this video is what people can point to when it is said no other player was like Lemieux.

Edit: one other thing. Pronger was said to wear tiny skates and I remember looking at them and his feet are comically small.

This team…is it bad?

The most innovative off-season move was giving away McCann with no replacement strategy and now no 3rd line. Hextall being cash strapped is a fair point. But it’s his job to do things like figure out how to dump Petterson.

Not even sure what you can get as the season goes on, so I don’t see how this is a wait and see thing.
