Without a doubt, Sidney Crosby and Mario Lemieux are the two best players in Pittsburgh Penguins history. They helped the Pens win five Stanley Cups, and each made sure the franchise transformed into one of the NHL's most recognizable.
Overall, the Pens are up there with the Original Six these days in popularity, and that trend's not changing soon despite the lean seasons. Lemieux's responsible for bringing this franchise into the limelight while Crosby took them to another level.
While Lemieux will always be one of the faces of this franchise, Crosby will more than likely end up breaking two of his boss' records by the time he hangs up the skates.
