Favorite Penguin Tournament (Lemieux Era-Current) - FINAL (Lemieux defeats Crosby) - CLOSED

[Khelandros]

Thanks again for doing this. Maybe in a few days or a week, would you consider doing a Crosby/Malkin era tournament?

It was already done. Crosby beat Malkin 59-41.

It was already done. Crosby beat Malkin 59-41.

I'm curious as to the other rankings and outcomes.

I think your board is a lot fonder of the older legends than the other two boards I ran this on (Colorado and Boston). Sakic beat MacKinnon in the Final 57-15 (79%) and Orr just squeaked by Bergeron 37-35 (51%) in the semifinal before rolling through Bourque in the Final.

Mario when healthy was quite possibly the greatest hockey player ever, so I think that is the reason for the runaway victory.

A lot of people who watched Orr in his prime are either dead or at best probably using their old, reliable 14.4 k dial up modem for internet access.

Thanks for setting up the event.

I think it is more that Lemieux saved hockey in Pittsburgh and has a legacy that is literally untouchable amongst Pittsburgh in general not even sports. And he did it three times in his career.

Crosby on ice has given us more deliverables and is a remarkable human being, but Lemieux is a Pittsburgh institution.
