PITTSBURGH — No team in any sport celebrates the return of its conquering heroes better than the Penguins. The night would-be pugilist Marc-Andre Fleury came back to PPG Paints Arena with the Vegas Golden Knights was one of the most fun nights in Pittsburgh sports history. So was the night quirky Phil Kessel returned with the Arizona Coyotes. The tributes, as all that the Penguins do, were done wonderfully on the arena's big scoreboard as an appreciative fan base poured down its love.
I'm hoping the Penguins have something really special planned for Monday night during their game against the Ottawa Senators.
Can you imagine the reaction if they show Mario Lemieux sitting in Suite 31, waving to the crowd, during the first or second television timeout?
