|  | | Is Mario Lemieux better with or without Jaromir Jagr? |
Wednesday was the first game of Year 2 of Mario Lemieux's comeback. It was also the first time in 11 years the Pittsburgh Penguins opened the season without Jaromir Jagr. Even without the league's leading scorer, Lemieux feels his team can contend for the Stanley Cup. Many of ESPN's hockey experts predict Lemieux will have an MVP season, but the Pens don't rank among their Cup favorites.
