Penguins for sale!

[Evil Chris]

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Penguins owner Mario Lemieux and his partners have been approached by "a few groups" interested in purchasing the franchise - and plan to begin negotiating with them.

Story

At least one of those interested is a group from Winnipeg. Will we see a return of the Winnipeg Jets?

Those of us living in or around Winnipeg can only hope that Barry Shenkarow would somehow be involved in the purchase.

it would be appropriate if Alaska had a hockey team named the Penguins - aren't there any millionaires up there?

I'm sure there are a few. But the starting price for the team is 100 million.

THERE you are!

When I first saw this thread, I thought of you. I figured you'd get yourself all excited at the thread title. OK, I did, too, and thought "well, now, this would be the perfect gift, wouldn't it?"

I can picture you and the kids tobogganing up at Whistler with a little creature at the head of the tobaggan saying "faster, faster!"
