Best game I have ever seen in person: January, 1988, Montreal @ Boston. Boston wins 2-1 in OT. First period had over 100 penalty minutes. Bruins D Gord Kluzak climbed over the penalty box glass and dove into the other box to continue fighting Chris Chelios.

Best $20 ticket I ever bought.

That was a nice period for the Canadiens. They still had their greats from the 70s and a bunch of excellent newer guys too.

It seems like hockey was always on TV back then and now I manage to catch just a few games per year. It used to be 50/50 mix of Bruins and Canadiens fans here which was great!

After John LeClair (from my former hometown) got traded to the Flyers all the kids there became Flyers fans. For awhile he could have run for governor and gotten about 99% of the vote.
