Talk:Boston Garden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The last hockey game played at the Boston Garden was an exhibition between the Bruins and the Canadiens, nicknamed "the last hurrah", one which Patrick Roy speficially asked to play in due to the great importance of it. Straying from the standard three period game they switched it to two quarters, I can't remember the exact length of each one. The Bruins won, a shut out if I remember correctly, and afterwards they lowered the retired numbers of those players who were still living and presented them to them. Bobby Orr then assisted a former player out who had incurred a severe injury whilst playing for the Bruins on to the ice and they took a final lap around the Garden whilst grown men broke out in tears, a truely touching moment. Will attempt to find specifics to amend the article.
- It was not Orr who brought Normand Leveille out onto the ice, but Ray Bourque, a longtime personal friend and former teammate. The halves were 25 minutes long. September 26, 1995, final score, 3-0 Boston. RGTraynor 07:28, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

How about noting the local name "The Garden" or "The Gahden" with a link to the page on the Boston accent? --Timepilot 00:14, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
