I don't know...this was very much an 80's game, lot's of back and forth, both goalies made big saves. Those goalies back then just weren't that good compared to now, so it is hard to compare.
I think it would be really difficult for an 80's team to score if they were to travel in time to now. Not only are the players way bigger and faster with far greater endurance, but the goalies can make unreal saves and are so agile.
I couldn't stand Fuhr as an Oiler, and I never accepted him as a Flame. It is what it is.
