The Pittsburgh Penguins joined the NHL as an expansion team in 1967. Their first year saw them place fifth in the western division and out of the playoffs. The team wasn't a year old before ownership issues came to the front.

The Pittsburgh franchise won it's first Stanley Cup in 1991 and again in 1992 on the back of Mario Lemieux. He would again save the team during it's ongoing financial problems moving into an ownership position.
