Knee hockey, like in a basement hallway? Goal on each end, just winging shots back and forth at each other? I had completely forgotten playing that until you just posted about it.

At the Falkland Archipelago.

Just kidding - I was but a mere dream.

In the pub at the Tradewinds hotel which used to be at the NE corner of MacLeod & Glenmore Trails.

After, we drove to the airport to cheer the Flames when they landed.

I watched in my room at my parents house. My mom is pretty superstitious, and so as a kid I picked up on that. I sat in the exact same position for nearly the entire game so I didn't jinx it. I think my leg went to sleep!

Definitely one of the happiest days of my life!

Watched the game at bar down on 11th with a bunch of friends, went crazy on the streets, then went to the airport to welcome the team home. Was an awesome night.

Watching with my Dad at home. I was 12. He loved the Oilers and was so angry, that I was afraid I was going to get smacked after I cheered.

Just returned home after first year university so was watching the game at home. Later that summer Smith was doing a hockey school in our town and buddy of mine (wearing a Flames shirt) saw him in the bar one night and congratulated him on the goal. He was not impressed.
