I’m not a small dude, but I was kinda shocked at the size of these NHL guys, HUGE.
Somewhere around here I have an Adirondack Red Wings team picture from 1988. When I was stationed in Saratoga, NY some buddies wanted to go to Glen’s Falls to watch a game. Been hooked on the game ever since.
Got stationed in CT after that and went to a LOT of Whalers games and every Whalers/Blues game since one of my buds on the boat was from St Louis. That was during the time that the Whalers were planning to leave Hartford, traded Ron Francis and the fans were irate. I went to a first round playoff game against Montreal and bought tickets on the ice 15 minutes before puck drop. I’m pretty sure that night was the lowest attendance ever for an NHL playoff game.
