The heartbreaking part to me was actually the overtime winner. Of all the horrible things that can happen to a person I had to work that night. It was an oil and gas job and I was in and out of the truck constantly. Anyways I had really cheap hearing protection in so I could kind of hear with the volume way up when I was out of the truck. Anyways as I reached the truck I thought I heard a Flames player name(I don’t remember which) and then Maher saying he scores. For maybe 1 second ( I recall I started to raise my arms) I thought we had won the cup. It was one of the best one seconds of my life. And then bitter disappointment.
