20 years since the '04 run
My sons home from school sick today, so randomly I showed him a video of game 3 Tampa Flames from the cup finals. I almost got choked up telling him about how important the series/run was. I explained how hockey in Canada was in a deep valley, the country lost the Nords and Jets, and there was a real sense that the only Canadian teams who would survive, or, be able to compete, would be Montreal/Vancouver/Toronto. I told him about the red mile, how it was like a big party for the entire city for 2 months.
It'll never be that good again for me or people my age, I think. What a perfect storm for a really amazing spring.
What are you favourite memories of '04?
edit: We're watching game 5... navras is fired up and the boys are in the tunnel ready to come out. God this was cool/
