Mario has been outstanding, a league leading 27 points already, 9 points ahead of the next guy who happens to be Alexei Kovalev. Their is no shortage of things to cheer about in Pittsburgh, as Dick Tarnstrom and Johan Hedberg are having above average seasons.
Another blessing in disguise, is the play of Aleksy Morozov, who is Lemieux's other line-mate can help but take the points Lemieux creates for him. Luckily management didn't over-react like the Naslund situation, and ship him out because of a slow start on his career.
