As the Washington Capitals waiting in their dressing room, the Penguins raised their fourth Cup banner and first inside the newly renamed PPG Paints Arena.
Just prior to the banner going up, the Penguin players and staff were introduced to the home crowd, with captain Sidney Crosby, currently sidelined with a concussion, bringing a special guest to the party.
The banner raising ceremony came after a day when it was learned that Penguins owners Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle were no longer looking to sell the franchise after over a year on the market.
