Look, it’s Sergei Samsonov with Patrik Elias in the background!
With this game being Bruins vs. Devils, I can recycle a Bruins-Devils anecdote I’ve told before: back in December 2007, the Bruins hosted the Devils at TD Garden.
That day, there was a fast-moving snowstorm that dumped ~10 inches of snow on Boston from mid-morning through the afternoon.
The Bruins, knowing no one would go to the game, sent out an email offering deeply discounted tickets.
I was living in the Suffolk dorms at the time, so some friends and I bought cheap tickets (like $15 for loge seats) and walked down.
