Game 7 vs. the Canucks occurred while I was at a Pixies concert at Mac Hall (IIRC, on the live CD you can hear the drummer ask "how about those Flames"?). The concert let out near the end of the third period. We watched the end at The Den. The late goal to tie it made me so angry (the jacket on the ice, the slash by Naslund) that I was sure the Flames were cursed and would lose in O/T. I couldn't bear to watch that. There were plenty of mouthy Canuck fans in The Den. I got in my car to drive home. We heard cars honking and turned on the radio to hear Gelinas had scored. We quickly looked for another pub.
