My most memorable game: Rick Tocchet

Installment No. 3 in an occasional series highlighting the most memorable game in which players participated as a member of the Penguins.

Player: Rick Tocchet
Date: May 1, 1992
Game: Game 7, Round 1, playoffs
Site: Capital Centre, Landover, Md.
Result: Penguins, 3-1

It was the kind of game in which Tocchet, one of the most ferocious competitors in NHL history, would revel.

And thrive.

High intensity, higher stakes.

Two teams fighting desperately to extend their season, all too aware that one was just 60 minutes of hockey away from the start of its summer.
