Notes:  Lemieux and the Penguins beat up on Steve Yzerman and the Red Wings in this classic game.  Quinn and Coffey score twice each, Brown has a hat trick, Loney and Hillier add one apiece, and Super Mario adds a power-play goal.  For Detroit, Chiasson, Gallant, Burr, Yzerman, and Klima each score once.  Detroit G Greg Stefan draws a five-minute misconduct penalty for high-sticking.  This 2-disc set includes about 10 minutes of the first period of the 3/29/81 Edmonton at. Pittsburgh game on ESPN.

Thanks Trevor!
