Felled by an irregular heartbeart, Pittsburgh C Mario Lemieux is expected announce his retirement later today.
A 6 time winner of the Art Ross Trophy as regular season scoring champ (as opposed to the Diana Ross Trophy, awarded to the NHL player who inspires the most wilding in Central Park) , 3 time regular season MVP and two-time Stanley Cup Playoffs MVP, Lemieux is expected to resume full-time duties as Penguins owner/Sidney Crosby’s landlord.
Lemieux’s farewell press conference will be held this afternoon, followed by Eric Kuselias asking Barry Melrose, yet again, to explain who was better, Mario or Gretzky.
The Art Ross trophy is awarded to the winner of the regular season scoring title.
The Conn Smythe trophy is awarded to the playoff MVP.
I expect the New York Knicks to sign Lemieux before the weekend.
I love Mario growning up in pittsburgh gave it alot of cheers and he is the best ever to play the game of hockey
