Steeler win motivates Seals to top Pens, Jan. 7, 1976

The Penguins dropped a 4-1 decision to the woeful California Golden Seals on January 7, 1976 in Oakland. According to Seals goalie Gary Simmons, he and his teammates were motivated to beat the Pens after the Steelers had beat the Oakland Raiders 16-10 three days earlier in the AFC Championship Game.

"A lot of us saw what the Steelers did to the Raiders last Sunday and we just felt it was another reason to win this one," Simmons said in this game recap.
