Those guys were always so calm and determined. Confident. Couldn’t be rattled.
Miss that team.

That goal was so memorable for many of us. He had so much time in front of the net with that puck. He faked left, went home to make sure he turned off his stove, realized he forgot to do the dishes so quickly did them, stopped on Deerfoot to change an old lady's flat tire on they way back, and came back to the game to finish pulling the puck to his back hand and put it in the net.
