1/20 - Bruins vs Habs - F the Habs!

Heinen Hattie. When they signed him this year my eyes rolled… he has made me look like a fool, and I’m glad.
I happened to come across an interesting trivia question that I never would have been able to answer unless you gave me maybe a year's time, but I thought I'd share it:
Who scored the first Bruins goal in the TD Garden (which was the FleetCenter at the time)? It occurred against the New York Islanders on October 7, 1995.

Sandy Moger
Wow blast from the past!
I wonder who scored the first Celts bucket.
Edit I believe the first Pats TD at Gillette was
Christian “eu” Fauria
Yeah, I saw a guy in a #45 Bruins jersey in the stands in one of the pics of Heinen's third goal and so I did a search of every who wore #45 for the Bs because it's such a rare number, and it led me down a bit of a Sandy Moger rabbit hole. Lol.
I'm not sure, but this is a link to the box score from the first Cs game at the TD Garden: https://www.nba.com/game/mil-vs-bos-0029500013/box-score
And I learned who was the last player, Cs or otherwise, to score an NBA basket at the old Garden:
Horace Grant of the Magic
Wow, that's great! (Looks like Larry Bird's #33 hadn't been retired yet? Or is 33 in the box next to McHale's 32?)
The old Garden was so much better than the new Garden, even though the rink was smaller for Bruins games.
In my head I (jokingly) guessed
Andy Moog, who wasn't even with the Bruins at the time
So I am going to chalk this one up as a win.
That's funny. I never considered how similar their names are! Half-credit only, though.
Random note that I just realized from looking at the standings, but as good as the Bruins have been this season, they’d have to win out to match their win total from last season. Assuming they do that, though, they’d extend their points record.
