Grade:  80/100.  Decent commercial edits, but fair tape/broadcast quality.  Still a great addition to a collection.

 

Notes:  The Pens get a couple of decent shots on Boston Goalie Andy Moog, but they remain scoreless.  Boston gives up several power plays but their penalty-killing ability prevents the Pens from taking advantage.  Neely finally scores part way through the second period on a power play, his first goal in more than three games.  Ken Hodge makes it 2-0 on another power play.  Murphy quickly cuts that lead in half on a power play, and Bourque ties it up a couple of minutes later.  Roberts puts the Pens ahead in the third period in the midst of a flurry of attempts by both teams, and the crowd erupts.  Don Sweeney ties it up again for the Bruins with 7:47 left, but the Pens cannot be denied.  Recchi puts them up for good with a blistering wrist shot at 15:40.  Super Mario scores the last goal , an empty-netter, when Boston pulls Moog for a sixth attacker.

Thanks Jim!
