Mario was one of a kind, literally SAVED hockey in Pittsburgh, if you didnt know the team went bankrupt and was gonna relocate, this was just a decade from winning 2 stanley cups.
Mario was owed 30M from the team, instead of taking them to court or whatever, he finangled the debt he was owed into a percent ownership and found a partner to keep the team in PIttsburgh.
Pittsburgh Penguins have gone on to win 3 more stanley cups '09 '16 '17
The era he and Gretzky played in was night and day to the game nowadays.
Last game before 1st retirement, the amount of respect he garnered was insane.
Standing ovation in Philly of all places, don't let them convince you that all philly fans are dicks.
Lucky to have watched him and now Crosby.
