over Edmonton.
Postgame: Yes
Commercials: No
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!
