Plett was always my favorite. Not only did he seem huge but the Corral seemed enormous. I was also always Plett in street hockey except when I was one of the Flyers because my buddy, although a Flames fan, was always Gretzky and it seemed like either it was the Flames or Flyers that were battling the Greasers in the playoffs. He's in a better place now.

I remember sneaking out to go to Electric Avenue the night the Flames won the Cup. I was 16 and it was awesome. It was a similar vibe to 2004 on 17th Ave after we beat the Canucks.
