My most memorable game: Jim Rutherford

Installment No. 10 in an occasional series highlighting the most memorable game in which players participated as a member of the Penguins.

Player: Jim Rutherford
Date: April 1, 1972
Game: Regular-season game No. 77, vs. Philadelphia
Site: The Spectrum, Philadelphia
Result: Tie, 4-4

It was a place where the Penguins once went 15 years -- and 42 games -- between victories.

Where they absorbed some of their most humbling, soul-crushing defeats.

Where they were embarrassed at least as often as they were at the Forum in Montreal of Boston Garden.
