Why Mario Lemieux ACTUALLY returned to the NHL #pittsburghpenguins #nhlhistory #nhl



Mario Lemieux didn’t return to the NHL just for a comeback story — the real reason is way more surprising. Here’s why he actually laced them up again. 🏒🔥

  1. As a tall person myself, who's had back issues; I can only imagine the pain Mario dealt with after years of pulling moves the most limber, small player would struggle with.
    This man was a generational talent.

  2. @WhoWhatMe Mario was so so gifted. He had it all. In my view, Mario was the best player ever. Gretzky, as good as he was, was not 8n Mario's league. Add MarioJr (Jaromir Jagr) to the Pens–what a duo. Jags Top 5 of all time. For me, Mario #1, Jagr #2

  3. Mario is the best player of all time, better than Gretzky. This man played during his cancer phase where he had trouble to bend down to tie his skates and have 3 points a night. Didn't even play 1000 games cause of this. Came back from a 3 year absence and scored one of the most memorable goals at his first game back.

  4. Maybe its because im a some wannabe contrarian but to me Mario is #1 of all time, if he were healthy im confident his numbers would rival Gretzkys
