Mario! Mario!
I’m hearing distressing rumours; the malcontent voices of Pittsburgh are harping on Mario for not putting the Penguins ahead of Canada on his list of priorities. If I were Mario I would sell the team to the highest bidder on this nanosecond, Mario Lemieux owes a lot less to the city of Pittsburgh than he does to Canada. As Gord Roberts of the Crash Test Dummies would say:
“Mario Lemieux never made any money. Saving the world from the Pittsburgh grumpy. And I do declare we’ll never see another man, like him.
Ma!
Mario Lemieux is a warrior, and perhaps the greatest hockey player Canada has ever produced. What other player could have discombobulated Domenik Hasek into thinking he would pass instead of shoot, what other player could have pulled that” between the legs ruse “against a money goalie like Mike Richter. He was in extreme pain throughout his time in Salt Lake City and no longer had his strength and speed to rely upon. Instead he used his infinite guile and his exceptionally soft hands and the opposition was putty in his hands. His is a performance that we’ll treasure more with the passing of time.
Just making sure you eat your Chunky Soup.
We will probably never see another hockey player like the Magnificent One. He is the last of a rare breed that began with Bobby Orr, continued with Wayne Gretzky and culminated with Mario Lemieux. He was the stick the stirred the drink in both the 87 and 91 Canada Cups. And even though he had nothing left physically for the Winter Olympics, he still brought home the gold…and yes, I was just as shocked, as he was when he missed that open net.
Hey that’s my mom!
For the record, Mrs. Lemieux is an actual goalie in a Montreal Seniors league.
