We’ll start by winning 23 in a row. Set a franchise record, hopes will be high. This is a dream season, it has to be, we’ve won 23 in a row!
Then we bust and end up playing sub 500 hockey and we barely squeak into the playoffs.
Who are we facing first round? Oilers.
McJesus lights us up for 3 games straight, gets hat tricks in all 3 games. We’re down 0-3, it’s elimination game 4.
But wait who’s that on the horizon? You can see his cowboy hat just cresting over the saddle of the dome. It’s LOOCH! And he’s dressed to play??
Conroy surprises everyone, he had secretly signed Looch as a rental!
Looch skates onto the ice, clobbers McJesus and scores a goal on his first shift. The Flames are invigorated! They win the next 4 games and eliminate the Oilers.
The team is riding high, no one can stop them. They sweep all other teams on their way to the cup finals.
And in the end?
The Saddledome explodes. The roof collapses and people are screaming…but not in fear. It’s excitement as Jarome Iginla steps onto the ice and Looch hands him the Stanley Cup.
And that’s the moment I wake up with soaked underwear.
