| I thought that the Pens had this one. But I was wrong. Caron played good, and I got to see Mario, which was definately a plus. It was also Iceburgh Bobble-Head day, which made the pain of losing go away. I also met Johan Hedberg, Ian Moran, and the great Phil Bourque. It was also Pens Hall of Fame Day. Vince Lascheid, Les Binkley, and Ulf Samuelsson were all inducted. Ulf was the only one who got a standing ovation. Seats were in E30, row H, seats 15-17 I believe. They weren't too bad. All and all, besides the Pens losing, it was good. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Like I said, I got a free bobble-head.....Attendance was 17,148, standing room only.....I saw The Great Edzo walking down the corridor. He gave me a little wave, and looked like he didn't want bothered......I must complain about the Refs. They sucked. The Devils had no penalties, and that was bullshit.....Mellon Arena hot dogs are good.....So I go to the one bathroom and guess what? It was locked. I had to go to the other side to use a bathroom.....Alan Cox was great, as he always is.....Mario had a good game, and he looked and played really well. | ||||||||||||||||||||
