That game featured my favourite moment in a long time, the empty net goal by Backlund. The Seattle defensemen performed my most hated defensive move when the puck is iced - Turn to the wrong side, push off slow to make it look like you had no chance at getting the puck and take the icing.
It was nice seeing him perform that to a tee instead of trying to cut it off then look down the ice in horror as it bounced off the boards directly into the net. Amazing.
