Nope, don't think Drew ever came up from WBS.

Any chance they might have played together in a preseason game?
Konstantin Koltsov once scored a hat trick while playing on a line with Lemieux and Straka

Image #19 is the sports page (paginated page 37 in the paper)... "Penguins Look Good Despite Loss". Another article on same page about Jean Beliveau getting goal #400 in that game. The boxscore is on page #39, which includes full rosters (a rarity in the land of the Press). A photo is there on that page too, which shows the Habs in white and the Pens in blue, and highlights Captain Ab McDonald #20.

How about Connie Hawkins throwing in 31 for the Pittsburgh Pipers? A few years ago on EBay I bought a Pittsburgh Pipers t-shirt - great logo.

Checked my records. I was at that game.

was in 68-69, a crowd of less than 3000. Christmas day in 1968, a 6-3 win over the Red Wings, with goals by Pronovost, Burns, McCreary (2), Schinkel, and Angotti. McCreary's second was the winning goal. Attendance was 2420. It was only the 7th win of the season. Capacity in 1968-69 was published as 12580.
Honarable mention, same season:
3506 11-21-68 vs Oakland, Leo Boivin with the winning goal.
*I don't have attendance game by game for 1980-84 range, so it is possible there was a smaller crowd later.
I bet even that crowd was louder than the sellouts now.
