As you've probably heard, Pittsburgh Steelers chairman Dan Rooney passed away today at the age of 84. Head to Behind the Steel Curtain our SBN Steelers blog for coverage of the remembrance and special pieces there of a life well-lived.
So why the article on a Penguins blog? Well as Howard Cosell famously said;
"When you play Pittsburgh, you play the whole city. Yes, it’s still the City of Champions. It has nothing to do with victories. Pittsburgh has a winning character."
The Penguins franchise has a LOT to owe the Rooney family.
