Surely they are not referring to the Letang-Malkin epic for the ages?
Checked the box score
Oh.
Wow
And years from now 9,000 will claim they were in the rink to see it.
The rarest thing I ever saw in person at a sporting event was watching Mickey Morandini turn an unassisted triple play against the Pirates at Three Rivers Stadium.
First and second nobody out, both runners takeoff on the pitch, liner to him and he steps on second and tags the guy coming from first
It took about three seconds to realize what we had just seen.

At first I thought that this wasn't that rare an event before 1967 with only 6 teams sharing players, but then I remembered that the Rangers were one of those teams.
And probably never again.
