Going Out On Top For Mario Lemieux

03/31/2016 at 8:25am EDT

from Rob Rossi of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,

The NHL commissioner usually doesn't take unannounced visits to NHL cities this late in the hockey season, either.

Well, not unless there's something significant to discuss.

Gary Bettman was in Pittsburgh on Tuesday, multiple sources confirmed.

Nobody would say Bettman wasn't here to discuss the possible sale to a person/group that would assume controlling interest.

So, I'm thinking that something is up.

If nothing else, that something is likely time on the Penguins' Mario Years (1984 to ???).

So, what's the way to play this out, Sid?

“I mean, if that's the case, you want to make sure you make it as good as you possibly can,” Crosby said Wednesday, taking five full seconds — and a deep breath — before answering.

“I mean, thinking about it just now, as you asked the question, if that is the way it works out, there's no better way for it to end than to win it all. That would be great.

“I mean, I haven't thought about it a ton. But the fact that you're bringing it up makes me think about it.”
