I remember this game, not just because of the way it ended, but because I was supposed to be there for it — but a friend’s credit card got declined AFTER Ticketmaster told us the tickets were paid for. Glad I didn’t make the 180-mile car trip from Newport, R.I., to Jersey.
The game sold out (a rarity for Round 1 post-seasons games at that time) and I wound up watching it on television — though via the Bruins telecast on WSBK since I was in Newport, R.I.
Peter McNab is the voice you hear screaming “They did it!” Blaine Lacher is the Bruins’ goaltender at the time. The game had no goals and was in OT-1.
