Montreal
Boston
Chicago
Detroit

Penguins and Canadiens knotted at three. If the Pens lose tomorrow, it'll be the last hockey game played at the Igloo, also known as the Mellon Arena.

I don't know about you David, but I am a nervous wreck about the game tonight! I would hate for the season to be over....but Montreal has been playing so well I don't know that I would be surprised. I do have to say, the fans in Montreal are awesome. They cheer and boo everything! I think it would be so excited to see a game there, even if I was cheering for the opposing team....

Has anyone seen the HBO special Broad Street Bullies?

It was great - brought back many memories of the early 70's. Bobby Clarke - passed over by every other team because he is diabetic; Bernie Parent and Kate The Great singing God Bless America.

I'm glad I'm old enough to have seen some of the hockey greats - Jean Beliveau, Gordie Howe, Henri Richard, Yvan Cournyer, Ken Dryden, Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito, Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita - the list could go on forever.
