The last hockey game played at the Boston Garden was an exhibition between the Bruins and the Canadiens, nicknamed "the last hurrah", one which Patrick Roy speficially asked to play in due to the great importance of it. Straying from the standard three period game they switched it to two quarters, I can't remember the exact length of each one. The Bruins won, a shut out if I remember correctly, and afterwards they lowered the retired numbers of those players who were still living and presented them to them. Bobby Orr then assisted a former player out who had incurred a severe injury whilst playing for the Bruins on to the ice and they took a final lap around the Garden whilst grown men broke out in tears, a truely touching moment. Will attempt to find specifics to amend the article.
It would be great if folks could post some photos! Americasroof 12:18, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
How about noting the local name "The Garden" or "The Gahden" with a link to the page on the Boston accent? -- Timepilot 00:14, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
There are two different dates on here for when it was demolished. ???
Given the significance of this building, this article needs some improvments. The only sub-section on design is the flaws, and there could be more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.68.41.93 ( talk) 06:19, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I had edited on the page to eliminate a trivia section on here, to a way that I thought would be better [1], but apparently, it had been reverted. If there is anything that could help me out in why this was not a good edit, I would love to know, that way, I could maybe find a different way to incorporate the info into the article, and eliminate the trivia section.

An exterior photo would be a tremendous addition to the article. -- Beland ( talk) 21:19, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps this page could be merged with TD Banknorth Garden, as they are in theory the same place, although Boston Garden was demolished. An exterior photo would be a tremendous addition to the article. -- Wellslogan ( talk) 21:19, 14 December 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.118.12.40 ( talk)
I think there should be some mention of the fact that the hockey penalty boxes were not centered on the red line as in most (all?) other NHL arenas, and that this combined with the shorter ice surface meant that the referees crease actually crossed over the blue line. This is barely visible in the photo of the Rangers practicing (far blue line, right side), but I don't have any sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phreakydancin ( talk • contribs) 19:36, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
"The Naden overhead scoreboard (which was electro-mechanical, not electronic, as more recent arenas used) of the Boston Garden can be seen hanging in the Boston Garden themed foodcourt of the Arsenal Mall in Watertown, Massachusetts."
I was all set to revert this as a WP:EL violation, but then I took a look at it, and what this new link is is a list of all the rock concerts at the Garden from 1967 to the building's closing, including dates, bands and some added info. It strikes me as genuinely useful, and I'm disinclined to revert. Thoughts? ῲ Ravenswing ῴ 21:42, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
