I may not remember the night, as I was 3 but my dad's Mom an avid flyers and general hockey fan bought her, my dad and I tickets to opening night on the second hand market in NJ where she lived, according to my dad it was illegal to resell tickets in MN where we lived.

Fast forward to NYE and we got the call that she had passed in her sleep at 81 years of age. No one really knew where some important paperwork was so in the search for those docs my dad found this and gave it to me saying I'd appreciate it more. All these years one of those things the average person probably threw away she had hiding away. Here I am more into hockey all the time and following the wild since that night, its definitely cool to now have. I should joke with him about gifting me his original white sweater to put with it

  2. Northwest airlines is crazy

    Edit: admittedly, I didn’t read the whole post and I’ve dealt with finding missing docs before(in this scenario. Im sorry for your loss and I’m glad you have this memory of her.

    Also, I feel bad that I didn’t read the whole message.

  3. I’ve got one as well. Sat in the club level that night. Opposite end from where Darby scored the first goal.

  6. I have my ticket framed with a picture of me and my family at the game! Also have a knee hockey stick from that game
