Reply #9: The Whiteout started when they were still the Winnipeg Jets. [View All]

It's pretty cool to see. If you haven't seen it before you'll get a kick out of it. It's a great time of year for hockey fans, especially when you have a team actually in the hunt.

The most intimidating places to play are long gone now. The old Chicago Stadium and the old Boston Garden were really scary places to have to play in. They were both real small, and the fans were right on top of you, and neither city is known for it's welcoming sports fans. The Garden had one of the smaller ice surfaces in the NHL, making it even more cramped and intense (back then the NHL didn't have the standard size rinks that it does now...different cities could have different sized rinks. The old Aud in Buffalo was like playing on a stamp). All the new buildings are generic. The new Garden in Boston is blander than a Republican convention.
