In 1981 Canada lost to the USSR in the in the final 8-1. In 1984 in the prelims they lost pretty convincingly to the USSR, and were down in the 3rd in the semis 2-1. Tied it up, then OT. An easy win in the Final vs the Swedes but the semis vs the Russians was a massive deal.
Saddledome wasn’t that wild again until a few moments in 1989. Then 2004 moments. Mid 2010s playoff chase and Anaheim game. Then of course the Game 7 Dallas OT winner by JG.
