Even when Smith played for Calgary we would still yell "Shoot" at him.

For me there is a goal Fleury scored vs Edmonton where he undressed (I think) Ranford on a breakaway or semi break, skated across the crease but paused for a split second before roofing it. CLearly to add extra insult. It was awesome. Smith or Beukeboom absolutely stapled him to the cross bar immediately after, but it was an awesome goal.

I have a memory of a Kent Nilsson goal from a game I was at in the corral. There was a crowd of players in front of the net and someone hammered a slapshot that went off of Nilsson. The puck literally fell on its edge and rolled willy nilly across the line as all the players and goalie were flat on the ice. It just as easily could have rolled into the corner. Total fluke, but I loved it. I remember being bummed out when Ed Whalen didn't show it on the highlights the next day.

Michel Petit scoring on "the Bossy" play. First time I remember Calgary using a slick face off play for a goal.

Al MacInnis penalty shot where he wristed it past the goalie. Everyone in the rink thought he would wind up for a slapshot. Disappointed he did not, but very memorable.

But the Steve Smith goal was on a totally different level for me. For people who were not alive or old enough to remember, at that time there were still old style telephone lines and one telephone provider - AGT. After Flames and Oiler games you would try to call long distance and some times it would ring busy because the lines were tied up. The person you were calling was not necessarily on the phone, rather there was a physical limit to the number of calls the older lines could handle. After this goal you couldn't get through long distance for HOURS as everyone in Alberta called oiler fans to rub it in. I remember where I saw it, what chair I was in, who was in the room, what shirt I was wearing, and how I celebrated. An equivalent today is tough to mention because there hasn't been a dynasty for a while in any major sport.
