The Rise and Fall of Kevin Stevens

[Triple B]

The Penguins of the early 90s was a legendary team and Kevin Stevens was a huge part of it. SportsNet did an excellent piece on Kevin Stevens...saw it this morning and thought it was well done.

I remember this from when I was a kid ...he was NEVER the same after the Pilon hit .......until then he was THE power forward

Thanks for sharing the link. I had no idea what his life had become.

Here is to hoping he can stay on the right path now.

Mario doesn't get enough credit for being an all out good person.

He took good care of Sidney too when he moved to Pittsburgh.
