I still remember the 1986 superseries because it happened while the Flames were in that 11 game losing streak and Mike Vernon got the start, before that he was rarely used and it kind of kickstarted his career.

I remember these games so fondly. Games against the Habs and Flyers were other classics. The game has changed so much with the best players in the world now here, so you could never replicate something like this.
As a kid, I never considered these "exhibitions".

it's a different world now with high salaries, insurance, playoff races and collective bargaining disputes the NHL really is in it's own bubble.

It was serious business back then especially when you got to play their national team. The hype building up to that game was unreal. Plus the noise inside the Corral that night.

They look like stickmen compared to todays goalies. Plus they couldn't just stand there and cover the net with their equipment, they had to be athletic to make saves.
