Causeway Street is silent today.
The old Boston Garden has been gone since 1998, but if you're a believer in hockey lore, you'll know that the parking lot next to the TD Garden where it once stood is perhaps still haunted by the spectre of Bruins past, forever playing out their greatest games as the winter wind whistles down the empty street like the raw of a spectral crowd.
Tonight, these games will have one more player. Milton Conrad "Milt" Schmidt will once again center his linemates and childhood friends Woody Dumart and Bobby Bauer, as the last living member of the famous "Kraut Line" and the oldest living former NHL player left us today at the grand old age of 98.
