Another day in the NHL, and another great calls it a career.

Lemieux was thrilling to watch. He immediately made the players around him better, and was always a threat to score everytime he touched the puck. He leaves the game as the 7th all time leading point scorer with 1,723 in 915 games. He helped the Pittsburgh Penguins to 2 Stanley Cups, and was both times awarded the playoff MVP Conn Smythe Trophy. Mario was the NHL MVP Hart Trophy winner three times, the Art Ross Trophy winner (Leading Scorer) six times and a perennial NHL All Star.

The city of Pittsburgh will miss him, and the sport of hockey will miss him even more. Thank you Mario.

Your friend on ice,
