It's game seven of the Stanley Cup final, Islanders vs Rangers, and a man makes his way to his seat, right down at center ice. He sits down and notices that the next seat is empty. He leans over and askes his neighbor if someone will be sitting there.
"No" he replied, "that seat will be empty."
"That's incredible!! Who in their right mind would give up a seat like this and miss the final game of the playoffs!?!?"
The neighbor says, "Well actually that seat belonged to my wife, she passed away and this is the first game we haven't been together to since we were married in 1972."
"Oh I am so sorry, but you couldn't find anyone who would want to take this seat?"
"No" the man said, "They are all at her funeral!"
