Pittsburgh, PA March 10, 2001 Penguins Vs. Flames
The "Igloo" (officially known as Mellon Arena) and downtown Pittsburgh as viewed from our hotel room. Mario Lemieux during the pre-game skate. Opening face-off. L to R: Kevin Stevens, Lemieux, and Jaromir Jagr. The Penguins celebrate Lemieux's power play goal. This second period goal tied the game at three. A sellout crowd of 17,148 enjoy free hat night at the Igloo. Jagr scored his third goal of the game with 18 seconds left in the third period. Hats were raining down on to the ice like snow!
