Yup I remember watching that whole playoff run, nobody expected the Flames to beat the Flyers. And they did. Pat Riggins was unbelievable in the playoffs and completely unorthodox.
I remember that Dino Ciccarelli was a rookie on that North Stars team and was unbelievable.
I also remember that Kent Nilson the magic man became a bit of a legend that year. I also remember going to a playoff game against Chicago in the first round at the Corral. And Nilson got taken off of the ice after a dirty check and the crowd went dead, then in the third period he vaulted over those tall boards and the crowd went freaking nuts.
I also remember that the next year the team completely fell apart, and the only positive is that we got Lanny.
