Excellent piece Gare. Brought back the memories of my visits to the old Garden: Ray Bourque winning MVP in the last All-Star Game … the walk through the filthy basement followed by the interminable ride up the elevator to the press box … And my introduction to the NBA and the Miami Heat beat was covering the classic 1986 NBA Finals between the Lakers and Celtics. Also recall Panthers’ first visit to the “new Garden” and Boston native (and current Devils GM) Tom Fitzgerald hating it. Of course: There was only one Boston Garden.
