Embrace the Debate: I can't believe he was a Penguin

According to the great hockey-reference 617 skaters and 61 more goalies have worn a Pittsburgh Penguins jersey in the first 49 years of the franchise's history.

So many are ingrained in the minds of Pens fans forever, whether it's Mario Lemieux showcasing grace and talent in a 6'5 frame not seen before or since. Or Jaromir Jagr and his glorious mullet fluttering in the wind. Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Tom Barrasso, Marc-Andre Fleury. For most of those guys, it's difficult (and not fun) to imagine them in a different team's jersey.
