After the Flames beat the Oilers in game 5 during the 1986 series, I went to the airport with a few friends to greet them. It was a mob scene. Players had to walk through the crowd to get to their cars in the parking garage. I remember high giving Macinnis and rubbing Lannys head.
As we were walking to our cars in the garage, a town car pulled by. In the back were Tonelli and Nick Fotiu. One of the girls we were with asked Tonelli for a kiss and he very politely said yes, stuck his head out the window and have her a light kiss on the lips.
Just kind of of a weird memory from a fun experience. When the Flames won game 7, we watched from a TV and of course the setup changed and fans were behind a fence at a different part of the airport.
