I can't begin to tell you how awesome the introductions were from a person actually inside the arena. It's the loudest I've heard the arena in a non-playoff setting in quite some time. And this includes both the positive and negative spectrum of fan reaction. Cheers? Oh yes! Boos? Even louder!
While the Eastern Conference players had their fair share of cheers, namely for Panthers forward and living legend Jaromir Jagr as well as Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban, the fun started when the Western Conference player introductions began.
With Chicago being the first team to have introductions, forward Patrick Kane was the first on the list -- the crowd did not disappoint.
