Alexei Kovalev

Alexei Kovalev is one of my favorite players to watch in the NHL.  His great ability to wrist shot beats almost every goalie.  Kovalev was traded to the Penguins in the 1998-99 season, but didn't show all of his talent.  The next full season with the Penguins, he scored 46 points in 63 games.  In the 2000-01 season, Kovalev scored his career best 96 points in 79 games. 

Mario Lemieux

Mario Lemieux is one of the best players to ever play the game of hockey.  He is currently the owner of the Pittsburgh Penguins, and is also a player on the team.  Lemieux made a comeback to the NHL in 2000 after retiring in 1997.

Martin Straka

Martin Straka is one of the smallest players in the NHL, but can skate with some of the best players in the league.  Straka became a star player for the Penguins in the 1998-99 season.  That same year he also made the All-Star team.

Johan Hedburg

Johan Hedburg is a big contributor to the Pittsburgh Penguins.  His breakthrough year in 2000-01 helped the Penguins go to the Eastern Conference Finals.  When Hedburg came to Pittsburgh, he the nickname "Moose" for his blue moose helmet.

Robert Lang

Robert Lang is very important to the Pittsburgh Penguins.  He is a great center for the team, and also uses his size and strength to keep the puck away from the defenders.  Lang improves every year and in the 2000-01 season, he scored a career high 80 points.
