@dafoomie Classic video as Fred and Derek are trying to ignore Dave Shea, a young Sean McDonough and whatever happened to studio host Walt Perkins??

I was in the building and it was dark but thankfully nobody panicked

Great find, the full ESPN broadcast with Emrick used to be on Youtube but this is way better.

@dafoomie That was a crazy night

I wonder what would have happened if the game was still 3-2 Bruins at the time of the power outage.

We may win the game, but we still likely would of lost the series. If I remember right Edmonton was already up 3-0 in the series at that point

I remember trying to walk down from our seats in the balcony in very low light. Lights went out just as they were announcing an Edmonton goal. That and the multiple overtime game in the 90 finals are two of my best memories of that building in retrospect. Wasn't a fan of the multi overtime game with no AC in the Garden and it was hot in May that night.

That 87-88 Bruins team is still one of my all time favorite Bruins teams.
