Super Mario: From Prodigy to Legend

  Graphic: Genevive Oliver There have been great players for the Pittsburgh Penguins, and then there has been Mario Lemieux. From the impossible reach of his stick to his effortless, balletic stride, 'Le Magnifique' wasn't just a force of nature—he was a work of art on ice. 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.

   Opening the scoring and giving the Coyotes a 1-0 lead, Matt Dumba scored late in the first period. Dumba struck his first goal in 30 games with a one-timer from the right point.


   It appeared Philadelphia tied it 1-1 early into the middle frame, but it had been overturned when it was reviewed and determined the Flyers were offsides in the buildup. However, Morgan Frost ended up tying the game 1-1 with a penalty shot at 15:37. Matias Maccelli put Arizona ahead 2-1 when he banked a shot off Samuel Ersson's skate from behind the net. Tying the game back up, Travis Konecny finished a 2-on-1 with Scott Laughton on a snap shot from the right circle at the bottom... Konecny recorded his 25th goal of the season. Alexander Kerfoot scored his eighth, taking a lead pass by Jason Zucker. Kerfoot locomoted the puck from forehand to backhand around Ersson, putting it in at the right post and gave Arizona a 3-2 lead.


   Jamie Drysdale tied the game 3-3 at 13:48 of the third period... Scott Laughton gave the Flyers their first lead of the night by scoring a wraparound while taking a high stick from Matt Dumba. Owen Tippett struck his 19th goal of the season with an empty-netter, calling it wraps with a 5-3 final.
