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.
Oh yeah, and the best part was that everyone was in. I remember my professor canceling class so that we could all get a table at Moose McGuire's for the game.
