They'll do that anyway the next time they win. I am sure not being able to create that narrative last night is what was really eating him and the Edmonton media. The beat writers probably had their stories written before the game started praising the Oilers for their perseverance.
Not really related but I recall how when Matt Stajan lost his son, the team played Minnesota that night, but obviously the Flames are just heartless jerks. They actually won 5 of their next 6.
The Emerson Goal is still a bit a tear jerker for me.
