The loss in game 6 sits squarely on the guy sitting in section 211 row 16. We sat directly behind him for the entire playoff run.

He had a German army helmet with Darryl’s Army painted on. Red, yellow and black camo painted face. When the Flames scored, we all had our ritual high fives, hugs etc.

So at the end of game 4 he says.. it’s been fun, but I can’t make game 6. It’s his sister’s wedding. I remember telling him “You can’t miss this.. go to her next wedding!” He didn’t show and the rest is history.

Feels like a CBC Canadian Heritage Moment if you ask me.
