Penguins-Bruins 1980: Game 1

In Game One, the Penguins shocked the Bruins and the mere 9,725 Boston spectators who came out to see what was supposed to be a ho-hum drubbing of the visitors. The rejuvinated Pens, coming off a disappointing end to a disappointing regular season, withstood a 38-shot Bruin barrage to claim a 4-2 victory.

Goalie Greg Millen, in his first-ever playoff action, stood on his head, stopping enough of Boston's 20 third-period howitzers to give the underdog Pens an inconceivable 1-0 series lead.

This article from the April 9, 1980 Post-Gazette summarizes the tilt, while the others around it contain some nice quotes from the victors' locker room deep in the bowels of the old Boston Garden.

This game was also the playoff debut of Raymond Bourque, the future Hall of Famer. He fired an incredible nine shots on Millen - who stopped them all.
