I have been following the Pens since their first games with Hank Bassen in goal. Remember Andy Bathgate? How about Mike Briere, our first superstar, who gave us hope, only to be killed in a car crash after his first season? The team lurched from financial crisis to financial crisis. It has usually been a long season (except for the two Cups in the '90's). Now I'm in Cleveland, without major league hockey, but watching the Pens from afar, and I must say that things look good!

There were 2 very tragic hockey losses due to traffic accidents.
Briere was one, and the other was Pelle Lindbergh of the FLYERS.
So sad to lose such obviously great talents at such a young age...........

Sorry, I don't go back that far. But I love the Pens and I like that they are the underdogs in PA.
