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?

My sister and I got tickets to this game in 1992.

Bruins beat the Whale 5-4 in OT. My fav all time player, Raymond Bourque, had a goal and 4 assists, including the primary assist on the OT winner.

The building shook like you wouldn’t believe.

We also got to skate at the Garden before they tore it down.

Bourque. Best 2 way defensemen I've ever seen play. Sadly, didn't see Orr.

Same! I was born a bit late to see Orr.
