1984–85 Pittsburgh Penguins season
Encyclopedia
The 1984–85 Pittsburgh Penguins
season
was the team's eighteenth
in the National Hockey League
. It marked the debut of Mario Lemieux
for the Penguins
. Lemieux debuted on October 11, 1984 against the Boston Bruins
and scored a goal with his very first NHL shot, on his first shift. Later that season, Lemieux played in the NHL All-Star Game
and became the first rookie to be named the All-Star Game's Most Valuable Player
. Despite missing seven games during the season, Lemieux scored 100 points and won the Calder Memorial Trophy
as the rookie of the year.
Before the 1984 NHL Entry Draft
, Lemieux announced he wanted to play for whoever drafted him. He and his agent were deadlocked with the Penguins and could not negotiate a contract. Because of this, when the Penguins called his name as the first overall draft pick, he did not shake general manager Eddie Johnston
's hand or don the Penguins jersey, as is NHL tradition. He claimed he was upset about the contract negotiation, and said that "Pittsburgh doesn't want [him] bad enough." Even though the draft was held in Montreal, over 3,000 fans viewed a broadcast in Pittsburgh's Civic Arena
— a typical Penguins game drew less than 7,000 fans at the time. Lemieux's actions upset many fans and led to accusations of arrogance and aloofness. After the draft, Johnston signed Lemieux to a two-year contract for $600,000, plus a $150,000 bonus for signing. Although Lemieux wore the jersey #27 during his time with the Laval Voisins, he wanted to adopt Wayne Gretzky's #99 when he entered the NHL. However, his agent advised him to create his own identity; thus, Lemieux turned #99 upside down and landed on #66, which stuck with him throughout his career.
