Easy

I'm in the Boston Pizza on Whyte Avenue in Edmonton during the '88 playoffs. It's Game 2 at the dome. Flames won the President's trophy and had home ice. Edmonton won the first game.

Me and my two Calgary friends have been giving it to the Oiler fans all night despite the closeness of the game. Especially the line of Simpson-Messier-Anderson (or Pretty Boy-Frankenstein-Dr Hook as we called them).Then Gretzky scores a shorthanded overtime goal over Vernon's shoulder. We left so fast we were gone before the Oiler fans turned around from cheering the goal. Vernon should of had it. Flames lose in 4 straight.

Tikkanen's game 7 OT goal in 1991 hurt a lot too but at least I wasn't in Edmonton for that one.

3rd place "it was in" in'04
