God dammit.
Richly deserved. You win three Stanley Cups in this era, the rest is gravy, no matter how much wreckage you leave around.
I said it in the other thread and I think it needs repeating. If you are in any way unhappy about this news, then shame on your for 6 weeks. JR deserves it. JR earned it. Celebrate that moment and don't forget how it felt prior to the back to back Cups.
You may be frustrated with the current direction, but don't forget what we have now because of JR.
Sergei Zubov is in. Damn you, Craig Patrick.
Zubov during the Jagr reign would've lifted those teams an entire level.
What was the deal with that? Was it really as simple as 66 not getting along with him on the PP?

From what I can recall, Mario was frustrated with Zubov because he was a very reluctant shooter on the power play. Too many passers, not enough shots. Basically.
There may have been more to it than that, but as far as I can recall it was not personal. It was a power-play issue.
Well, basically Mario blew it big time, if the rumors back then were true.
Pens spent almost a decade looking for another legit #1 guy and Zubby went off and had a HOF career.
Even more maddening that Lemieux retired the next season after chasing off an all time great. Just swell.
