2. so funny to look back at us thinking of Tonelli, Riser and Lanny as the old as dirt line, I think they were 28, 31 and 32 that year
3. Sather, never change. there was a brief piece in the Sporting News - summer/offseason of 1988, so months after the Hull-Ramage trade, with Sather bleating to the media that the deal was so obviously a rip off in favor of the Flames as a transaction between friends that he believed that the Flames , as part of the deal still had to send another player yet to be named (although somehow the name Gary Roberts made it into the article) to the Blues that offseason to balance things out

That line was a force in 86. And then in 87 they did play like they were old as dirt.
Riser was finished after that and Lanny barely hung on to get his 500 goals and a ring.
Fotiu was a cool addition in 86 as well.
