David Rittich will start in goal for #Flames vs. #Devils tonight. #CGYvsNJD


A nice Throwback Thursday to the Snowstorm in NJ. I wonder if the game was in Calgary tonight if we would see record low crowds.

Thirty years ago, on Jan, 22, 1987, a blizzard crippled the New York City area, but storm could not stop the Calgary Flames and New Jersey Devils from playing a regular-season game, or prevent 334 from getting to the game.

Three years ago, NHL.com took a look back at that wild, crazy night.

Here is the story:

The game between the Calgary Flames and the New Jersey Devils on Jan. 22, 1987 wasn't expected to be a historic affair. But close to two feet of snow descending on the tri-state area turned it into one of the most unusual evenings in the history of the National Hockey League.
