I was in high school the last time the Penguins won the Stanley Cup and I remember watching all of the coverage on television and attending the rallies that were held to honor our heroes. One of the most unforgettable parts of the entire two year experience was hearing the players address the crowd and how emotional it was for them.

We got to experience that again yesterday with a new batch of heroes, though it was one of the old ones that got me feeling all nostalgic. The ole' 2 9er addressed the gathered masses yesterday and recreated his moment from 1991 -- one that I will never forget.

And the new version... with Mike Lange intro and new heroes looking on! Awesome!
