I know Gary Roberts was next man up in the 86 finals when the Flames were so decimated by injuries that they had by that point pressed half of the Moncton team into action as well as bringing a coach out of retirement- but what I didn't remember til just now is that he had played a handful of games with Moncton the year prior- I'm assuming that he had a NHL deal and not a AHL only deal, so I can't remember. just recall him being interviewed pregame on the radio as the next up black ace at one point(he had won the Memorial cup earlier that week)
