So I've got to ask this...how can Errey call DOC playing with Carter/Heinen instead of Blue/McGinn a promotion without laughing on air???

My dad, 72, passed in August. I had a lot of friends attend the wake, some I hadn't seen in a very long time, and it really did mean a lot. Dad took me to Pittsburgh for the Pens first ever game in Consol. Special memory for sure.

I am very sorry to hear that. Yeah, it is really tough. I can say that after a year I still think about him many times every day. 72 is just way too young . They crazy thing is that all four of my grandparents (all of whom smoked when younger) lived well past that. In the case of my dad it was brain cancer. It was absolutely merciless and I think it was only about a month between when it was detectable and the treatment window closed.

I have many memories of going to games with my dad, from my first game in Oct. of 1987 (against the Rangers - the Pens lost) to 2019. One of my favorites was in 1989 when the Pens score 7 against the Nordiques and we had seats right up on the glass, first row (the only time I ever sat that close - I was 11 at the time). Another was in 2007 or 8 when the Pens played the Leafs and Jarko Ruutu beat up Darcy Tucker .

Sorry for your loss from a Rangers fan. I am 72 your dad's age and remember going to Rangers games in the 70s with my dad.. Cherish the good memories I know I am so glad to have them. Class move by the Pens team.

Sorry for your loss. I know how a little show of respect like that can mean so much from experience as well.

And no one will confirm, but I'm pretty positive MAF was there as well. He took 3 days away for personal reasons and was back to play tonight. Timing matches up.

Sorry to hear about yours, too. Those are all amazing memories, absolutely. Very fortunate to have them.
