The World: ‘Dude. Mario Is Not Going Anywhere’
The Mario Lemieux-leaving-Pittsburgh denials were in full force Monday.
From the Penguins own site:
“In response to recent media speculation about his future as a player, Pittsburgh Penguins owner Mario Lemieux issued the following statement today:
‘I am not considering selling my interest in the Pittsburgh Penguins.
‘As I said to our season ticket holders last week, I have not decided whether I will play in 2003-04. However, if I do play, it will be for the Pittsburgh Penguins.’”
Ranger GM Glen Sather said he hadn’t heard anything about Lemieux coming to Broadway.
And Joe Starkey at the Tribune-Review said he doesn’t see Lemieux being able to unload his share of the team on anybody.
And that’s the beauty of this rumor. It makes no sense, but it just feels true. It probably isn’t, but there’s just something truthful about the absurdity of it.
