Penguins announce 4 franchise icons in Class of 2025 for relaunched team hall of fame
By any measure, the 1983-84 season was the worst in the history of the Pittsburgh Penguins. And it was no accident. The roster was constructed with the intent of being awful. And then it was progressively whittled down to something even worse. As terrible as those seven months were that...
