Ran across this about an hour ago from Jagr via his Facebook. Kind of random. Interesting stories.
It was all in Czech, so I tried to clean it up.
After watching this video I want to write this true story that shows us the genius of the player number 66 Mario Lemieux. This short video describes the return of a legend after three and a half years spent on golf courses. Three and a half almost without great physical exercise - a family and golf. Why even Mario back? What was the reason, when during his frequent injury he struggled with a back injury for two months even missed due to cancer of the lymph nodes? As he, at that time owner of the Pittsburgh Penguins, the video says: "When I miss hockey, and as you all know, I always played hockey to win the Stanley Cup. I believe that this team has it."
At the time, he stood on the bench as coach Ivan Hlinka.
Maybe - but I see the greatest reason somewhere else. My story begins on less than five years ago. It writes the date 24. 3. 1996. This day was born much-awaited son, but not everything went the way you want all parents. Austin was born a few months earlier. Nobody knew what would happen next, and so Mario spent three days in the hospital with his wife and son. After three days without sleep and stress are 66 master learned a great message. SYN will live and be healthy. To Maria and "kicked" that he decided to take up the match, which was played on the same day that he announced this positive news. 27. 3. It was 1996 and we played against St. Louis and clearly won. Already I know exactly match score, but I know that Mario gave the match five goals and two more crossed .................... Son It is not a mistake ......... put five goals two assists
Believe me, I was there. And who does not believe, just look at youtube.
Life went on and Lemieux ended the year on a "first" career. It was the
April 1997, played the first playoff round against Philadelphia and Mario two minutes before the end scored the goal that most fans consider to be his last in his career ..........
Then three years he devoted to the family, golf, but also his club Penguins, where he was the owner. Missed no game has ever come on training as it also began to walk (at that time four years), son Austin. Also loved hockey without a stick in his hand did not blow. One day he came into the room and began curators have fun with our grinder. Now comes the main thing: Austin - Hi Steve, what are you doing? Steve - hello, sharpen skates for players today have a game. I know, it responds Austin, also I will go to see. And who is the hockey player on that poster? (Poster Mario Lemieux). That's your dad, Steve replied ....... And my dad played hockey? Steve said to Austin to disbelief and said, Your father has long been the best hockey player in the world ......... Oh, I did not know. And he went on with a smile on his face playing with a ball .................................
One hundred percent know about the brief conversation between Steve and Mario Austin had learned. MONTH TO ANNOUNCES THAT RETURNS ................... first two games, you can see the excerpts. It was against Toronto and Ottawa. Both matches are won and know what was Mario's balance? Here it is: two games - two goals and five assists. After three and a half years off. Incredible. The story of a small Austin is in my opinion the biggest reason why Mario Lemieux returned to the ice. Austin finally saw his father play live and Lemieux once again proved that he is the best hockey player of all time.

Po zhlédnutà tohoto videa mám chuť napsat tento pravdivý přÃběh, který nám ukáže genialitu hráče čÃsla 66 Maria Lemieuxe. Tato videoukázka popisuje návrat legendy po třech a půl letech strávených na golfových hřiÅ¡tÃch. Tři a půl skoro bez velké fyzické zátěže - jen rodina a golf. Proč se vůbec Mario vrátil? Jaký byl důvod, když se během své karéry potýkal s častým zraněnÃm zad a celé dva měsÃce dokonce vynechal kvůli rakovině lymfatických uzlin? Jak sám, už v té době majitel Pittsburghu Penguins, na videu řÃká: "Po hokeji se mi stýská a jak vÅ¡ichni vÃte, já vždy hrál hokej s cÃlem vyhrát Stanley Cup. VěřÃm, že tento tým na to má."
V té době stál na střÃdačce jako trenér Ivan Hlinka.
Možná - ale já vidÃm ten největÅ¡Ã důvod někde jinde. Můj přÃběh začÃná o necelých pět let nazpátek. PÃÅ¡e se datum 24. 3. 1996. Tento den přiÅ¡el na svět tolik očekávaný syn, ne vÅ¡e ale probÃhalo tak, jak si vÅ¡ichni rodiče přejÃ. Austin se narodil o několik měsÃců dřÃve. Nikdo nevěděl, co bude dál, a tak Mario strávil celé tři dny v nemocnici s manželkou a synem. Po třech dnech stresu a bez spánku se mistr 66 dozvěděl skvělou zprávu. SYN BUDE ŽÃT A BUDE ZDRAVÃ. To Maria tak "nakoplo", že se rozhodl nastoupit do zápasu, který se hrál ve stejný den, kdy mu oznámili tuto pozitivnà novinu. Bylo to 27. 3. 1996 a my jsme hráli proti St. Louis a jednoznačně vyhráli. Už přesně nevÃm skóre zápasu, ale vÃm, že Mario dal ten zápas pět gólů a na dalÅ¡Ã dva nahrál.................... Ne. Nenà to chyba......... Dal pět gólů + dvě asistence
Život Å¡el dál a Lemieux rok na to ukončil "poprvé" kariéru. Psal se
duben 1997, hrálo se prvnà kolo play off proti Philadelphii a Mario dvě minuty před koncem vstřelil gól, který větÅ¡ina fanouÅ¡ků považovala za jeho poslednà v kariéře..........
Poté se tři roky věnoval rodině, golfu, ale také svému klubu Penguins, kde byl majitelem. Nevynechal žádný zápas, někdy přiÅ¡el i na tréninky a s nÃm začal také chodit (v té době už čtyřletý) syn Austin. Také miloval hokej a bez hokejky v ruce neudělal ani ránu. Jednoho dne se dostal do mÃstnosti kustodů a začal se bavit s naÅ¡Ãm brusičem. A teď přijde to hlavnÃ: Austin - ahoj Steve, co děláš? Steve - ahoj, brousÃm brusle pro hráče, dnes máme zápas. Já vÃm, odpovà Austin, také se půjdu podÃvat. A kdo je ten hokejista na tom plakátě? (plakát Maria Lemieuxe). To je přece tvůj táta, odpověděl Steve....... A můj táta hrál hokej? Steve se na Austina nevěřÃcně podÃval a odpověděl: Tvůj táta byl dlouho nejlepÅ¡Ã hokejista na světě......... Aha, to jsem nevěděl. A Å¡el si s úsměvem na tváři hrát s mÃčkem.................................
Na sto procent vÃm, že o této krátké rozmluvě mezi Stevem a Austinem se dozvěděl Mario. MĚSÃC NA TO OZNÃMIL, ŽE SE VRACÃ................... Prvnà dva zápasy můžete vidět v sestřihu. Bylo to proti Torontu a Ottawě. Oba dva zápasy jsme vyhráli a vÃte, jaká byla Mariova bilance? Tady je: dva zápasy - dva góly a pět asistencÃ. Po třech a půl letech volna. NEUVĚŘITELNÃ. Tento přÃběh o malém Austinovi je podle mého názoru největÅ¡Ã důvod, proč se Mario Lemieux opět vrátil na led. Austin konečně viděl naživo hrát svého otce a Lemieux znovu dokázal, že je nejlepÅ¡Ã hokejista vÅ¡ech dob.
