Super Mario will return.. Lugi still lost on Yoshi's Island

Lemieux, the Penguins' owner and Hall of Fame player, gave Olczyk every indication Tuesday that he will play next season, barring a lockout that would shut down the league. Lemieux missed all but 10 games this season with a hip injury.

I'd love to see him next year. Although we have to start wondering when will he hang up the skates for good, and will he be able to play at the level we enjoy with the stinker of the team he had to deal with.

As horrible as it sounds, I think he has become more of a distraction to the team, than a help...

The team uses him as a crutch, and when he goes out, they figure they can just wait for him to come back and bail them out.

I dunno... maybe I am still upset we lost the lottery to the Caps.

i see where you're coming from about the crutch thing..

that lottery thing upset me too

Kinda funny that he'd be locking himself out if a lockout happens.

Ya, that is rather bizzare...

I know he gets 2 seperate salaries... one for the administrative work, and one for the player contract...

I assume he will not receive his player money...
