I wonder why there was fog inside an indoor arena now I know and why are people taking pictures when the lights went out? Can't see any action going on.
That old building couldn't handle A/C.... It was a bad situation. If the Bruins played a hockey game, and the stadium crew put down the parquet flooring above it for a basketball game, the ice used to make the wood floor cold and then if the basketball players sweat- it would create fresh ice on top causing them to slip and fall.
WSBK's remote truck had it's own generator, and as a result, the station's broadcast continued after the power went out (showing the old Boston Garden with emergency lighting).
@tjackson76 Maybe because the same thing happened at the Gahden in 1990 (the lights going out), only in that case, the lights came back on and the game would finish.
@GoalieRealmUSA They never had an A/C system in the Garden. Not when it opened, not when it closed. The Garden was famous for the fog during hockey games, and also famous for "The Heat Game"--Game 5 of the 1984 NBA Finals between the Celtics and Lakers, where temperatures were well above 95 degrees the entire game...
I just don't know why, especially if the building was multipurpose and supposed to be home to boxing matches, they never put a system in.
@HHSGDFootballJPD Actually it was the same for the Quebec Nordiques I think. In 2008 the Colisée was used for the world championship and there were water ponds in front of each nets.

The fog is because the old Boston Garden didn't have proper air condition causing fog.

The NHL's rule is crazy. What if a team was up 7-0 and the lights went out? The whole game would be replayed? That hardly seems fair.

In Boston, the game was broadcast by WSBK.
WSBK's remote truck had it's own generator, and as a result, the station's broadcast continued after the power went out (showing the old Boston Garden with emergency lighting).
