For 200 years we've been conquering nature. Now we're beating it to death.

I know he's had some training with the media, ... but I don't care what kind of training you've had, you either have his kind of poise or you don't.

There is going to be a wonder player coming along every 15 or 20 years. But what makes this story unique is that the Mario story is unique and he's still here for Sidney to play with. When Mario came to Pittsburgh, he didn't have a Mario to play with or to counsel him or advise him. He was on his own.

You can train someone for 50 years, but still it comes down to whether you have 'it' or you don't, ... And whatever 'it' is, he has it. Whether it's charisma, charm, poise. Here's some 18-year-old kid who understands the big picture, and some of us are 50 and we are still trying to understand it.

We've tuned it down to a mild roar. We've got to let him play hockey a little bit. That's the best marketing of all.

We picked Sidney at 4:30 on July 22 and the phones started ringing immediately at 4:31,

I've never seen anything quite like it, all the fuss over a guy they had never seen play. But the phone hasn't stopped ringing since.

A lot of this became grabbing the bucking bronco and going, because you couldn't plan. What you want to do is, you don't want to get in the way of what's already happening.

In a lot of ways, it's the Sidney-Mario story.

We are aware of the responsibility to the league as well. This isn't just a Penguin thing.

Certainly, we want to get him over to meet Jason Bay.

There has been a backlash against Sidney and frankly, it's amazing to us. He's our leading scorer, he's great in the community and he's there for the media after tough losses. This is not the season we've hoped for, but he has done everything asked of him. Both Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky have said they never faced the kind of pressures he has to deal with at age 18. This can be a cynical sports town and if Sidney wasn't doing his share, believe me, you'd have heard the stories from here, first.

Even if there is a substantial new investment in the team, Mario Lemieux will continue to be involved in all aspects of the operation.

The similarity is the spontaneity of the unexpected great news, ... No one expected Mario's comeback announcement, and no one expected us to win the lottery.

We were hiring people as it went along, ... We were in the process of ramping up our staff. Some new people got a real indoctrination. We had to tell them it's not always like this.
