You don't see the "lets go with an inexperienced backup" plan these days any more.
That year Vernon lost out to Marc D'Amour (Rich Kosti was the other guy), only to replace him later when D'Amour struggled with dehydration (nerves).
Yeah I'm old.

Yer not old. Just have a good memory. Those first days of the Flames in Calgary were magic for a little kid. That is probably why my hatred for the Oilers run so deep.
I still remember Donnie Edwards and the towels he used to wrap around his neck while on the bench. Remember Pattie Riggin destroying the Dino the dinosaur doll someone hung in front of him on the way off the ice?
