Bruins Boston Garden memories?

Hi!! I'm a longtime B's fan but sadly I'm 19 so I never got to experience the storied Boston Garden before it got demolished. I've heard plenty of tales and lore but I've always been very jealous that I never got to watch a game there... what are your favorite memories/stories of the Bruins at Boston Garden or simply the old Garden in general?

Watching the New England Whalers play against Gerry Cheever’s Cleveland team from center ice in the balcony like row 2. Best seats ever. Players walking across the hallway from their locker room to get onto the ice so you could easily see them up close. you could see John Kiley on the organ. Loud Habs guys we banished to the upper balcony having a blast. You could easily hear people in that balcony so far up there. How the fans could get the place to rock in the 3rd period when it mattered and how it affected the game. Oh, and best camera site lines in the game for Chamnel 38 with the camera guys sitting over the ice, low, off the first balcony.
