Super Mario: From Prodigy to Legend

His time in Pittsburgh wasn't just about piling up goals and assists; it was an incredible journey of dizzying highs, a battle with a life-threatening illness, and then, a truly triumphant comeback that carved his place as an eternal Penguins legend. His story is one of unrivaled greatness on the ice and a fierce, unwavering loyalty to the city that loved him. The Arrival of Le Magnifique: The Savior of a City The hype around Mario Lemieux started almost before he even got here. In the mid-1980s, the Pittsburgh Penguins were a punchline—a franchise teetering on the brink of irrelevance. Their arena was a ghost town, their roster a collection of misfits.

   Roope Hintz opened the scoring and gave Dallas a 1-0 lead. Hintz shot a wrist shot five-hole at 10:07 from the left face-off dot in the first period. The Stars kept their one-goal lead throughout the remainder of the first frame.


   Tying it up in the second period, Jordan Staal shot from the slot off a backhanded saucer pass. Seth Jarvis made the pass to Staal, 13 seconds into the middle frame. Mason Marchment put Dallas back up with a 2-1 lead. Nils Lundqvist circled the net, found Marchment in the circle and Marchment scored a one-timer.

Jason Robertson on the Stars' 4-2 win against the Carolina Hurricanes: "I think we just stuck to what our game plan was coming into it. Everyone bought in, just trying to slow them down as much as we could. I thought we did a pretty good job breaking the puck out tonight," - "I'd like to say that road trip we just had was a little sloppy. Obviously, you come back from the break and then you throw us out on the road, getting a tough road trip. But, it's great that we just had this game to kind of get back into it and find our game."
