The way it came out of no where. Then Vernie doing his thing the rest of the way. A really late too many men penalty that i was sure was going to lead to the tying goal.
Steve Bozek stands out for me that night too.
It was the first time getting over the hump that the Oilers machine had been til that point.
Great memories.

Bozek was literally grabbing two Oilers and hauling them down (away from the puck) with no call. Reffing was different back then.

I gained a lot of respect for Smith when, one night when they did it, he softly flipped the puck at his goalie who caught it (obviously preplanned). The crowd clapped for him.
