Not only was this one of the most memorable night in the playoffs that year...but I was there (with B.A., Joe & my college buddy Mike) and our seats were several rows behind Beaupre when the incident happened...

- Hanging out outside the Caps dressing room area while chatting with some family and Isles scouts when Dale Hunter walked out.......you could have heard a pin drop!!!!
- Going down the hall between the Caps and Isles dressing room areas while seeing newly appointed Commish Bettman with some NHL officials watching replays of the cheap shot
- Meeting some of the Isles (Ferraro, Hogue, etc...) after the game.....best part: Joe to Uwe Krupp: "How did you get so big?" Uwe: "You should see my mother!" we laugh and he responds with his german accent present "No, No, I'm SERIOUS!" hehe...
- Meeting and chatting with Trotts, him getting an intern to hustle and get us some hats and ensuring we got back to our hotel.......Mike proclaimed "Bryan Trottier Cares About Us!!" hehe...
An incredible night......who would have known bigger and more surprising things would be in store for the Isles in the weeks to come....
