Found the proof! (thank you Indiana Gazette!)

Mikey, given it was Sunday, one could have been an afternoon game, the other an evening game.

Well, now we know the exact game in which the cover photo was taken...will see about getting that footage as well.

Holy smokes! The picture is real !!!!!!!

Wow crazy

So I guess those weird bars in the stands were standard back then (come to think of it, I've seen similar things in Ottawa even now, but not behind the net..). I thought they boards looked different due to the ads just changing and the colours being adjusted to be less intrusive in the box cover.

Plabax FTW

Nevermind

Sundays they often did reverse jersey day.

Also did anyone catch Mikeys photo is Patrick Roy in a Kings Jersey.

Sundays they often did reverse jersey day.

.... I had never heard of this... really?!? Teams would play each other in the wrong sweaters?

[CoachMac]

No just switch from Home whites to darks.

It was a prelude to third jerseys that came out in 1995.

So Boston was in Black at Home which was a reverse jersey day.

A lead?

The National Hockey League (NHL) announced today the acquisition of the historic hockey photo collection of Steve Babineau, team photographer for the Boston Bruins. Babineau’s collection, which chronicles more than three decades of hockey history, coupled with Getty Images’ diverse NHL digital photo library, enriches the photographic imagery available through NHL Images.

Babineau’s collection of more than 225,000 images dates back to 1973 and records the careers of legendary current and former players, including Bobby Orr, Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Ray Bourque,Al MacInnis, Bobby Clarke, Mike Bossy, Marcel Dionne, Steve Yzerman, Chris Chelios and Martin Brodeur. He has shot more than 1,700 NHL games in 35 years.

He officially joined the Bruins as the team photographer in 1977, a position he now shares with his son, Brian.

Unfortunately it looks like my NHL contact has fallen through, so will have to start again to try and get this footage.

How'd I miss this topic? Great read.

These boards are like YouTube. Total time suck! 

I’m 94% positive in 1992, for the 1st half of the 1992 season, teams wore home white and for the 75th anniversary, wore dark at home so a late season game in Boston 1992 makes sense. 
 

Original 6 teams had throwbacks also worn a handful of times during the season. 
 

February 92 Det at NYR w/Rangers in darks 

Dec 91 NYR at WPG w/Rangers also in darks.

Yeah it's the reverse angle, but that's pretty awesome.

Just sad his comment of "lost media". As someone who appreciates historical records, never not annoyed and disappointed when I hear the phrase "The tapes were scrubbed to be reused and free up storage space."

"No one's ever going to want to watch the original moon landing tapes right?"

Not sure if this ever came up, but has anyone wondered what the title screen photo is for NHL'94?

I'm almost certain this is Bryan Marchment (#2, Chicago) getting checked by Scott LaChance (#7, New York Islanders).

From the jerseys, this was a home game for the Islanders. So I'm guessing this was from the 1992-93 season, which would make it the April 8, 1993 game where the Hawks won 3-2. It's the only time those two teams met in New York that year.

Anyway, I'd love to be able to get the original photo and/or game footage. Just think it'd be fun to have it...that is all.

Posting here for posterity:
