That was some of the best hockey ever, and certainly produced one of the most iconic goals ever.

As an old fart, I was actually at the 1984 semi-final game at the Saddledome between Canada and the USSR. Greatest game I have ever witnessed live. The Dome was incredible in OT.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
