The Penguins New 'Igloo'

the 66 i can appreciate.. lemiuex was an all-time great.. the 87 though.. for a curret player?.. thats about as tacky as it comes.. if i were sid, i'd be embarassed.

Aw, I get what you mean, but I like it. Now, if he doesn't stay here his whole career, that would be weird...

I don't see any problem with a tribute to such a great player from opposing teams:

18,087 seems a tad small by todays standards for a new arena. I will assume no one knows if they will have standing room?

The capacity is about par for the course.

Nah, seating capacities can change, and since it's the least significant digits, no big deal to change

haha i wasn't even thinking that.. i just think thats a high honor that should be reserved for greats like lemiuex.. not that sid couldn't become that, but as of now, he's not on that level

id go as far as to say lemiuex has done more for the penguins than any one person has ever done for a team, in any sport.. to put sid on the same level leaves a bad taste in my mouth

Well we're talking suites vs. regular seats. Not the same at all. In fact, a clear hierarchy.

the funny thing is, i'm sure sid is embarrassed. seriously, he's one of the most humble guys. to the point it's nearly annoying. between him and lemieux it's a wonder how any accolades are ever given. seriously, there was a video of the 'christening of the ice' at consol with sid and lemieux, and the two of them refused to be first. sid said mario had to be, mario said sid had to be...so they went at the same time.

I am surprised that Mad max didn't jump on between the two and yell "Hey, I know these guys!"

AHHHHH The good old days. I loved see Rob Ray bash his head in.

You know how some preseason games don't feel like preseason games? I hope the first game there is a war...
