| One of these days I'm gonna see the Pens win another game, it's just a matter of time. My personal thoughts were that the Rangers outplayed the Pens early, and that just ended the game. The debut of goalie Sebastien Caron was great, except for the fact that Aubin stunk in the 1st period. Jonsson and Pushor looked horrible together, and seemed to get worse as the game went on. Mario didn't play, the power play was horrendous. After the game, I met Shean Donavan, Jan Hrdina, and Wayne Primeau, so thanks to them for staying out in the cold to sign stuff for a fan like me. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Notes | ||||||||||||||||||||
| The Pens horrible first period did them in.....I got no free stuff....Caron played great.....Canadiens sat behind me, yes, that's right Canadiens. It was perhaps the most excruciating thing ever. I never want any Canadiens sitting by me again, unless I'm in Canada......Lots of people left the game early, and to those people, I say, Never go to a Pens game again. If your gonna pay money, stay for the whole thing unless some type of emergency comes up. The fact the Steeler game was coming on doesn't count as an emergency. | ||||||||||||||||||||
