Last night, as Pittsburgh Penguins fans, we said goodbye. It was like saying goodbye to a childhood home, or an old friend. We said goodbye to the Mellon Arena, The Civic Arena, the Igloo.

Technically, it wasn't really a final goodbye. That will come later. But it was a ceremonial goodbye. It was the last regular season home game to be played in the Mellon Arena.

And boy, did the Pens go out with a bang. We all hoped they would win this game. It would have been sad if they hadn't. But who expected the outcome that they got?

Just a few highlights:

They beat the Islanders 7-3.

Sidney Crosby got his 500th career point.

Marc-Andre Fluery made a spectacular triple save.

Bill Guerin became the first player to score 20 goals with at least 7 teams (he's played with the Pens, Islanders, Blues, Stars, Bruins, Oliers, and Devils, as well as the Sharks).
