What are three most feared words in hockey?

Mario Is Back!

That's right: Mario has stepped from the owner's box back to the ice, and has only added to his legend since doing so. Cherish EVERY game you get to see him on the ice since no one knows how long it will last!

Penguin Logo History

Pens debut logo in 1967

Lost the wimpy scarf & muscled up for 1968

1972 saw the circling name disapear

1992 brought the sleek new Penguin logo
In 2000, the Penguin logo that won two Stanley Cups returned on the alternate sweater!

Because I've got WAY too much time on my hands, I went back through all of the Penguin's ticket stubs I have and compiled a semi-accurate record of my attendance at the games. While I know I've missed a lot of games, at least I've got some sort of reference. Of course there are tons missing from the years before I started keeping the stubs. Oh well.
