I realize the Steelers are in the Super Bowl and the Penguins have lost 10 in a row but shouldn’t Mario Lemeiux’s retirement be more than an afterthought on Pittsbugh Post Gazette’s web site? Mario basically saved the Penguins from moving to some place like San Antonio and they have his retirement below the fold. And following his retirement story, is a story about how Lemieux’s retirement “Could hurt ticket sales for next year“. Geez, that’s gratitude for you.
Well, Super Mario, thanks for the memories. We’ll at least recognize your two Stanley Cups for Pittsburgh. Here are some blogs which got it right:
[Brain Flush]: Le Magnifique d’adieu, vous serez manqué
[Hockey Knight]: Merci, Mario!
[Kukla’s Korner]: All Mario
[The Pick Stops Here]: Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux Retires
