1983–84 Pittsburgh Penguins season



The 1983–84 Pittsburgh Penguins season was the team's 17th in the National Hockey League. The Penguins finished 6th in the Patrick Division and did not qualify for the playoffs.

Off-season
Eddie Johnston, who had been the interim general manager, was awarded the GM title in June. He named Lou Angotti to take over the coaching duties.

A controversy surrounding the end of the 1983-84 season was the apparent throwing of games by the Pittsburgh Penguins in order to secure Lemieux as a draft pick. Angotti later admitted this, though Johnston has not.
