Oct. 9/90 – Penguins 3 @ St. Louis 4

With the game tied late in the third, Pens rookie defenseman Paul Stanton made a mistake. “It’s something you learn when you’re five years old., that you don’t make plays like that. I’ll be surprised if I play again.”

The play in question was throwing the  puck up the middle of your own zone. Such clearing attempts more often than not end in disaster, and this one certainly did. Blues center Adam Oates picked off the pass and fed it to Geoff Courtnall, who tipped it into the Penguins’ twine for a 4-3 St. Louis lead with just over five minutes to play.
