MARGARITA ISLAND, Venezuela--(BW SportsWire)--Dec.23, 2000

For nearly a decade, Mario Lemieux was the most dominating player in the NHL. Now he is dominating media headlines after his announcement that he was returning as a player for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Lemieux won his sixth scoring title during his final year on skates in 1997 and credits his return to a need to, once again, be part of the action on the ice. Critics are saying that Lemieux's comeback isn't motivated by passion for the game, but rather a passion for money. Lemieux is the owner of the Penguins, whose superstar player Jaromir Jagr has been mired in a season long slump and has voiced his desire to be traded.

Regardless of Lemieux's motives, the question remains; will Lemieux be a Super Mario or just another has been? Before Mario hits the ice, you can place your vote by going to Sportsbook.com, the first and only website to offer numerous props on Mario Lemieux's return.

Will Mario score more than 24.5 goals this season? Will he have more than 35 assists or 59.5 points? Just how well will Mario skate this year; will he finish among the leagues top 15 scorers?
