I also remember being stuck in traffic on 14th St as one of the games was starting. People were rushing to wherever they were watching the game and traffic just snarled up. Almost every car had flags, and almost every car had the windows down blasting the game on the Fan. We scored and people were going bananas, everyone was honking and cheering.
I also remember being at the pub (I was 19 or 20) for game 7 of round 1...when Gelinas scored, our table actually flipped over, beer everywhere, people were running around hugging strangers, it was insane.
It was almost impossible to get a table at a good pub with TVs, most didn't take reservations but if they did they would give your table away if you were 2-3 minutes late. They were packed full 3-4 hours before game times even on weekdays.
