Yeah I was at that game as well. I think Brian was trying to save him the embarrassment of finishing his career getting torched. Maybe the younger fans can remember how bad Hiller looked in his last season as a Flame where it was evident his NHL career was over. Well Fuhr was even more cooked. It was just sad. To make matters worse Flames management brought in Mike Vernon the next season who was also finished. Pretty dark times for this organization for sure.

Those jerseys were the one shining light in a dark time for this organization.
