One of my favourite moments of that whole run was Ville Nieminen being interviewed shortly after the game when he said something to the effect of "we walked into this arena a proud hockey team, and we will leave a proud hockey team", his voice cracking as he says it.
Such a huge mix of pride, sadness, disappointment, I've never felt anything like it as a fan and I doubt I will ever hurt to that degree again. I'll never forget how the city rallied around the team, unbelievable.
