Heck, the starting tendy on most nights was Freddy Braithwaite and in one year, backed up by Grant Fuhr.
The young guns slogan was also cumulated with the introduction of the new flames jersey as well.

I remember all those players, just didn’t know why they were called young guns. Bure I know we didn’t draft. Savard I’m pretty sure we didn’t? Morris was supposed to be great. Didn’t Wiemer come from Tampa Bay?
Doesn’t seem like much of an era unless someone in the organization named it.
