R.I.P., Myron Cope

The fans wave goodbye.

“The Terrible Towel transcends all sports.” – a commentator (probably Paul Steigerwald) on the Pittsburgh local hockey station, FSN, about the tribute to Myron Cope at today’s Penguins game. The Terrible Towel will likely be seen at hockey games now through the Pens’ run through the playoffs.

Thanks for the 2-point head start, Myron. Farewell.

The final score: Pittsburgh 3, Atlanta 2.
