It is hard for many fans of the Pittsburgh Penguins to imagine this now but for many years in the pre Mario Lemieux era Western Pennsylvania did not have a very good professional hockey team and they almost lost their franchise. One of the few bright spots of the Pens was Rick Kehoe who was a two time All Star (1981 & 1983), a former 50 Goal scorer and a three-time franchise leader in Points. The Lady Byng Trophy winner in 1981 would score 767 Points over his career and would have had an outside shot at 1,000 had he not suffered a career ending neck injury in the 1984/85 season.
