C'est La Vie 66?

The greatest hockey player ever and the best athlete I have ever seen likely played his last game for the Penguins last night. What Mario Lemieux has done on and off the ice for the Penguins and the city of Pittsburgh is uncomparable and too lenghty too list here. But if it's true that he will retire, it's nice that he got an assist on the game winning goal on his last shift on the ice. It is a nice bookend to getting a goal on his first ever shift in the NHL when he stripped Ray Bourque and beat goaltender Pete Peeters on a breakaway. Thanks for it all Big Guy!!
