It's always time to talk about hockey. Even a story totally irrelevant in the fantasy world, such as the christening of a new arena, demands attention. So when an all-time great like Mario Lemieux joins a superstar like Sidney Crosby as the first to skate at a $300+ million facility like Consol Energy Center (Click that link. It's a great article on a terrific website.), the event will be frozen in time and enshrined as an Image of the Week.
Most people may not appreciate the magnitude of this day, quickly forgetting the near certainty of the franchise's departure from Pittsburgh. Seeing the most influential man Pittsburgh sports history, a man so revered by all, stepping onto fresh ice alongside the Penguins' future should evoke euphoria in anyone who calls his or herself a Pens fan. As chronicled on the team's official site, this is the day for which Lemieux and the entire organization has yearned for. Do yourself a favor and take a moment to reflect on the significance of this skate.
