Mario experienced both highs and lows during the 1989-90 season. His biggest high came in the NHL All-Star Game in Pittsburgh when he scored four goals and won the game's MVP award for a record third time. His low point came in the second half of the season when a herniated disk sidelined him for 21 games and interrupted his 46-game point scoring streak. But he still finished the season with 123 points. Mario, Rookie of the Year in 1984-85, has recorded at least 100 points in each of his six NHL seasons. He won the Art Ross Trophy as the league's leading scorer for the second straight season in 1988-89 and won the Hart Trophy as the league's MVP in 1987-88.

Back to the Front! Penguins card back du jour...
Les Binkley
Only one goaltender, Ed Giacomin of the New York Rangers, played more games than Les last season. "Bink" appeared in 54 games for the Penguins. Les was trainer for Cleveland of the AHL when the Baron goalie was injured in 1961. He started playing regularly then, and hasn't stopped.
Les is the only NHL goalie to wear contact lenses.
