Confirmed.

If this wasn’t the Caps, I’d be taking a break from Pittsburgh sports for the remainder of the weekend.

Tonight can't possibly be any worse.

I turned it off after 2-0, and watched the dtmts.com highlights. Dumo was in ever bad highlight.

"Kasperi Kapanen of the Pittsburgh Penguins, one of the NHL’s most iconic and successful expansion franchises."

It's been almost 55 years. On that timeline the overwhelming majority of the league are 'expansion' teams. Weird usage.

Mario has been looking to sell for a while now. It will be a sad day when that happens.

Also, I like that the WSJ scooped that story despite this team having ~15 awful reporters/bloggers/hangers-on that claim to have the inside track with the team.

Some rando posted a conspiracy theory about this on r/penguins a couple days ago. He was attributing it to the fact there's like 4 guy under contract after next year, and that (in his words) only happens of owners are looking to sell.

They’re on it now.

But seriously, imagine seeking Dejan to confirm a wsj story. Like, I can’t fathom being this stupid

DK says Mario will remain a minority owner, but Burkle is out. Who knows.

Where was Penguin insider Dan kingerski on this one

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Tue Nov 16, 2021 6:03 pm

The “why would Mario want to sell?” on r/Penguins is hilarious. To make money you dumb ****. Team value has increased like 10 fold since he purchased his stake with money owed to him. That Quebec castle he can’t sell doesn’t pay for itself.

His Pizza kitchen in that place:

I’m pretty sure Jofa paid him enough to wear that awful salad bowl helmet in the mid-90s to fully pay for that castle.

LeBron James is now technically a partial owner, since he owns stake in Fenway Group.

Pittsburghers: "We desperately need someone new to come in and buy the Pittsburgh P—."

Fenway Sports Group: "Say no more. Here's our offer for the Penguins."

Pittsburghers: "Pirates! We were saying Pirates!"

Ron Burkle will buy the Pirates
