The Pens' 1980 Preliminary Round series against the Bruins moved back to the Igloo, after Pittsburgh emerged from Boston with a split. The Penguins proved that their spirited Game 1 win was no fluke, outplaying the B's for the first two periods and amassing a 3-0 lead. From there, they played a tight third and, thanks to three points each from forwards Ross Lonsberry and George Ferguson, found themselves on the precipice of the young 1980 Playoffs' biggest upset.
In this article from the April 13 Beaver County Times, Penguins coach Johnny Wilson credited the hometown fans for playing a part in the big win.
