Mario?

Post by shane613 »

I was playing the Penguins trivia game on Facebook today, and I got a question asking who has never played for WBS before? And the choices were...... Marc Andre Fleury (yes), Dennis Bonvie (yes), Sidney Crosby (no), and.... Mario Lemieux? The correct answer was Crosby, but when did 66 play for the Baby Pens??

Preseason exhibition against the Pens a few years ago - Mario got hurt in the game.

In an exhibition game back when Pittsburgh did a week of training camp in Wilkes-Barre.

As a gimmick, there was a WBS vs. Pittsburgh pre-season game and Mario played for WBS.

Good one. Also refreshing to get a twist of it, and not the over used joke itself :)

Imagine Mario being sent down to find his game again :P
