This was from Nov 1st 2006 vs. the Kings in LA at the then Staples Center when I lived out there. Pens won this game 4-3 in OT on a goal from rookie Evgeni Malkin.

Still have my signed Staal stick from those runs lol
You can tell they’re young by their face hah
They’re all so young. How have they all gotten so old when I haven’t aged at all?
Miss those days for more reasons than I can even say.
Ohhhh maaannn. I remember staying up to watch the ticker at the bottom of the screen to see if Malkin scored. I was so happy when he did because he tied an NHL record going back to the first year of the league (1917-8) by scoring in his first 6 straight NHL career games.
I believe that streak included his punching the glass goal vs New Jersey “shades of Mario”. I always think back to those few weeks as the renaissance of penguins hockey. Like after the shitty post-Jagr era, the team on the ice finally looked like a competitive team
Thanks for these pics OP
Great times, but I much prefer the bold colors of their jerseys now.
I loved these jerseys. Unpopular opinion for sure but I’d love to see a Vegas gold alt one day
Crosby with an A patch and Malkin without one is wild to see.

One of my favorite jerseys I own
Wild that the only one of those guys who’s retired is Fleury.
