Game 6 of the finals is a strange time for fan service. Inserting Lanny was no doubt an emotional decision but not for the fans. At the end of Pepper’s career pretty hard to call him a middle 6 player for the Flames. Litttle time on special teams, and he called it a career the next season.
I see little correlation between Dube of today and Peplinski when he was named one of the captains.
