Pittsburgh sports hero (and life hero after surviving cancer) Mario Lemieux led the Penguins to two Stanley Cup championships in the early 1990s, and God I feel old just talking about the Penguins. I have to wonder if I’d still be a Penguins fan if Lemieux’s plan to buy the team hadn’t fallen through. And if the Penguins would be relevant today or even if they could have stayed in Pittsburgh.

What if the local legend had managed to pull it off?
