Me too! I actually have the trio of videos from ‘89, ‘90, and ‘91. I watched the ‘89 one about a thousand times as a kid, and it had some great cheesy music (“Paint the Town Red” and that sappy “Don’t ya know, I did the best I could…” ballad at the end.) I love the theme song for the “Into The 90’s” vid, complete with ultra cool graphics. I wonder if there were any other Flames video yearbooks- I’d love to snag them.
For related content, here’s a thread I started on the ‘91 Battle of Alberta. I can’t believe I made it in 2008, I swear it’s from 2-3 years ago. Time flies!

A few questions:
- I know much is made of Riser as a GM, but I’m wondering if we liked him as a coach?
- Could it have worked if we handed the GM reigns to someone better? I remember Fleury being less than complimentary about his coaching in his book.
- Do we think this was the best team of all the first round losses?
I like learning about this stuff, as I was a little too young to have a grasp of the game then.
