But in the late 90s, there was no one going to games. 3-5 k a night. A pre-season game? Maybe 1500. So...in between the 1st and 2nd period, I turned around and there was this very tall, very skinny young man standing behind us (we were last row on the aisle in Row K). There was some talk about this very tall, very raw talent coming from Slovakia. He wrestled his dad, he was tall, etc. And...there he was. There was NO ONE in our section and I asked him if he wanted to sit down. He sat down, He was very pleasant, very quiet. And that's how I spent a period watching pre-season hockey with Zdeno Chara.

Great story!
