Thanks to Empty Netters for reminding us that today marks the eighth anniversary of Mario Lemieux's comeback on December 27, 2000.
Thinking back, I have to laugh at my slightly moronic decision.
My friend Brent and I had heard rumors for weeks about Lemieux's possible comeback and we were waffling on buying tickets for the Toronto game or the Ottawa game a couple of nights later.
We wanted to make sure we saw Mario play, so we decided on Ottawa and missed the comeback game against Toronto. We did, however, get to see Mario notch his 1,500th career NHL point and Jagr get his 1,000th career point. That was pretty cool.
So I guess we didn't totally miss out, but it would have been awesome to be at that Toronto game.
Pens forever, Maple Leafs never!
