thanks , so interesting

19 man rosters, and intriguing that the Flames only carried 20 instead of 23

some neat players on both sides, obviously the Flames names are well known- with a young Peplinski stepping right in there on the 3rd line- he would be there to see the cup hoisted less than a decade later

Quebec with the 2 HOFers Goulet and Stastny, a lot of famous WHA names, and soon to be Flame Jamie Hislop

I'm not sure I knew the Flames were affiliated with Rochester at that point, nor did I know (or recall) that Overtime was already being kicked around
