anyways this 3 game finale is definitely not about the Flames- but mandatory watching |
This.
Particularly for the younger set around who were a long ways from even being a twinkle in their daddys eye.
The combination of skill, toughness and heart displayed in this series will never ever be matched.
Gretzky, Messier, Bourque, Coffey and Lemieux playing together in their prime.
The Soviets were an absolutely stacked squad as well.
Set your DVRs if you cant catch it when it airs.
