Great video!
Wow...that first goal in the NHL - 1996 against the 'Hawks in the first round of the playoffs. I was there at that game. My gf at the time bought 2nd row seats and I can remember the place erupting. I remember the score being 1-0 Calgary for the whole game on that goal until late, when Roenick tied it with seconds left in the 3rd. Game went into triple OT and finally Joe Murphy won it. My gf wanted to leave in the second overtime because it was getting so late...I was going to lose my mind when I realized she was serious about leaving. Poor girl was regretting buying those tickets!!
When it all ended, the one other thing I remember was a huge cup of Saddledome beer that was tossed from the mid level landing beside me and ejecting all its contents onto me. I went home soaked in someone else's beer.
Iggy was a presence ever since.
Memories.
