It was absolutely packed. Visually, it was a sellout. I know this is a bold statement with the Rangers series and Cup final, but last night was the most raucous atmosphere I can remember. Fans were standing for large portions of the game, people were waving flags/banners/signs all over the arena, and the crowd was engaged with every single play. It seemed like every person in the building was engaged in the on-ice play at all times. The place was a madhouse. It was the atmosphere I've been waiting for Devils fans to reach for a long time, and that's with 2012 being a pretty wild environment in itself.
Imagine ... just IMAGINE what a SCF would be like again in this building. Pretend those are RED towels.
