Let's Go Pens!
I have a question about the 91-92 Cup Engraving. I'm not sure if it should be in the Pens forum or in the History of Hockey one, so feel free to move it if necessary. Just wondering if an older fan could help me understand this.
So, in the 1990-91 Cup engraving, it goes Lemieux (captain), then the alternate captains, and then the rest of the team in alphabetical order.
the 08-09 team is the exact same: Crosby (captain), then the alternates, then the rest of the team in alphabetical order
So, my question, why is the 91-92 engraved so randomly? It goes:
Lemieux (capt), Francis, Trottier (alt), Stevens, Errery (alt), Bourque, Loney, Tocchet, Mullen, Jagr, Hrdina, McEachern, U Samuelsson, K Samuelsson, Murphy, Roberts, Paek, Stanton, Barrasso, Wregget, Caufield, Leach, Young, Jennings, Taglianetti, Callander, Michayluk, Needham, Chychrun, Priestlay, Daniels
I'm just not figuring out the order I guess. Were Francis and Stevens alternates when they won the cup? Cause I didn't think they were yet. Also, what's with the seemingly chaotic order of the rest of the team?
