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.

Sorry but me and my friends were part of the voodoo too.
When watching game 6 as teenagers, between each period we had pizza and played street hockey. Between 1st and 2nd OT we ran out of pizza and lost the ball for hockey so we had chips and played football. We didn’t even all make it inside to see them lose it happened so fast.
