Good morning, everyone.

I'd love to hear everyone's all-time favorite Coliseum memories. Even though I wasn't there for it in person, mine has to be the Shawn Bates penalty shot in the 2002 playoffs. What's yours?

That was definitely my favorite in person moment. I was at game 4 against Pittsburgh 1.5 years ago - just as loud and intense.

There is nothing like a playoff atmosphere in the Coliseum - especially nowadays. Sure you can't walk in the concourse during intermission without getting trampled, but the place is absolutely bananas inside.

Been to many games at the coliseum with my brother (he's and isles fan and I'm a rangers fan). For some reason always loved it as a hockey arena. When the games meant something the building would rock and you could feel the intensity.
