"It's A Great Day For Hockey"

| 1990-91 Pro Set Bob Johnson NHL Coach |
That's been a mantra of the Pittsburgh Penguins since "Badger Bob" took the helm behind the bench in the 1990-91 season. On this (sad) day in Penguins history, Bob Johnson passed away from brain cancer that had gone un-diagnosed until three months earlier when he suffered a brain aneurysm while working with Team USA in preparation for the Canada Cup tournament. Scotty Bowman took over coaching the team, eventually leading them to their second and consecutive Stanley Cup victory. But Bob Johnson's legacy would live on in Pittsburgh and the world of hockey forever.
