I have a question regarding the Old Garden, where I unfortunately never made it to a game.  I understand that they had all of the NHL logos on a scoreboard and lit up the logo of the visiting team.  Was this the case?  Does anybody have a photo or a link to a photo of this part of the Garden?

I have a brick from the old Garden in my office.

not a scoreboard, but easier to throw through a window if needed.

Nice pickup.

The Fat Kid has one, too, along with a small peice of the parquet.

Alas...all I have are my memories.

What is the old Garden's scoreboard doing in a mall food court anyway?  Shouldn't that be in the Basketball Hall of Fame or something like that?
