Super Mario Lemieux was at his most Magnifique in the 1991 Stanley Cup playoffs as he led his Pittsburgh Penguins to their first title in a six-game win against the Minnesota North Stars. Although injuries limited Lemieux to 26 games during the regular season, he still managed to post 19 goals and 26 assists for 45 points. In the playoffs, Super Mario scored 16 goals and 28 assists for an astounding 44 points in 23 games including 12 points in five games in the Stanley Cup Finals to claim the first of his two straight Conn Smythe Trophies as playoff MVP. This is the black road gamer Mario wore during the playoffs and which was patched-up for the finals as a back-up jersey. This jersey is video-matched to game #5 of the 1991 Wales Conference Finals to the black mark on the left 6 of the sewn-on "66" in gold and white double twill on the back. The 1991 Stanley Cup Finals patch is sewn on the right breast of Lemieux's fabulous 1990-91 Penguins playoff game-worn captain's jersey. The Maska Ultrafil flag tag in the back of the neck has the faint 66 and C handwritten in black marker by Pens equipment manager Steve Latin. The fight strap has one snap button that is broken off but remains attached in the snap. Solid game wear includes three team repairs on the white stripe on the back of the right sleeve which also has some red paint transfer, as well as black marks on the sleeves and front tail, a light colored mark under the right arm. There are a couple of thread pulls on the Pens crest on the front. Please take note that this museum-worthy lot may be subject to a silent reserve. Comes with Joe Tomon’s signed LOA and a DVD with the video-match.
