Good stuff Howie.
A few years ago I was gifted with a couple boxes of full editions of Calgary newspapers from the early 80's through to 1989 on key Flames dates in history, from a huge Lanny fan. Paper from his first game, the 1986 win, the 1989 win etc.
Just went down and took a look at a few more.
Included is the Edmonton Sun from the day after Game 7 1986...some choice stuff in there including a guest article from Kevin Lowe!
More then willing to scan some of the relevant pages from the collection in at some point over the summer.
Other notes...just for fun, the Sun should put the Sunshine Girl on Pg 3 to see the SJW outrage in this day and age. Other things that struck me was the classified section being so large (outside of the "Bargain Finder" how else did people know you had a Technics Turntable or 1979 Nova for sale?) and classifieds for house sales, noting the 13% mortgages etc. As well, the full pages of TSE and NYSE closing quotes, bring backs memories as well.
