Spotted this tonight: Iggy Pop on the Arsenio Hall Show circa 1990. Guitarist (famed session man Waddy Wachtel, born in Queens NY) was wearing a Flames jersey.
It's actually a pretty rockin' tune. Perhaps "Home Boy" should be played when Joe Colborne scores.

Another great one that I unfortunately don't have any internet footage of (it was some low-budget Alberta show that had a bunch of interviews of actors discussing their time filming in Alberta), was Jake Gyllenhaal taking about how incredible the Flames playoff run was and how him and Heath Ledger were full on fans, cheering on the Red Mile lots of nights.
Obviously they were filming Brokeback Mountain during the '04 playoff run, and Jake was just gushing about how he couldn't believe that a city could be so swept up in a sporting event that two Hollywood celebrities could walk into a pub (ship and anchor I think he mentioned specifically IIRC) and basically just chill at a table in the middle of the bar like relatively normal people because they were second fiddle to the games.
It was a pretty cool story to hear, especially considering that back in 2004 him and Heath were definitely A list celebrities, the type that would get hounded almost anywhere they went, so they saw it as extra special that they could cheer along in an incredible atmosphere AND not have to do they duck and dodge/separate from the public celebrity thing.
