Also a pretty big bar fight spilled outside of the Hard Rock during the World Police and Fire Games between some drunk firefighters.
But one lasting memory, when I worked in that part of downtown in 2004, was getting the last red Flames jersey at the FanAttic, as it was in the SE corner. It was Iginla crested, and got it for the wife, at lunch time, the day after the Flames beat Vancouver in Game 7. I think the staff working was a bit upset, maybe they had it pegged for someone else, but also because everyone coming in after looking for a jersey, they had to tell them they were out.
From that point on, if you recall, there was a shortage of red jerseys for a few weeks. They fired up the factory (jerseys were changing the next year so they didn't have more inventory) and new ones came out as CCM jerseys, where the original red were branded Koho.
One of the many locations the Fan Attic had dabbled in, from Chinook Center, to Eaton Center, the Airport, the Eau Claire one seemed the oddest spot.
