Pittsburgh Penguins was one of the six expansion teams that joined the NHL in 1967. Their start was not anything to talk about. The Pittsburgh Penguins had seven consecutive loosing seasons. Their loosing season started in 1967-1968 and lasted until 1973-1974. 1974-1975 season was good for the team and this was also Marc Boileau’s first year as team’s head coach.

The Winning Years

In 1984, Pittsburgh Penguins were awarded the top pick in the NHL draft. The same year, the team added a very important player, Mario Lemieux. He scored 100 points in his very first season. In 1987-1988, Lemieux helped Penguins win their first winning record in nine years. The same season, he was also awarded the MVP award.

In 1991, Pittsburgh Penguins won the Stanley Cup under the expert guidance of head coach, Bob Johnson. In 1992, Penguins again won the Stanley Cup championship, after defeating the Chicago Blackhawks. However, this time Scotty Bowman was the head coach of the team. The winning streak of the Penguins always ensured that Pittsburgh Penguins tickets were always in great demand.

Mario Lemieux

Mario Lemieux has been one of the greatest players for Pittsburgh Penguins. Lemieux won the scoring crowns in 1992-1993, 1995-1996, and 1996-1997. He was also awarded the MVP title in 1993 and again in 1996. In 1999, he saved the team from going bankrupt by buying it himself. By 2005, Penguins paid back all their creditors.
