One decade ago

[Bar-Down]

This was the best/saddest video from that 2004 cup run.

Game 6 versus Vancouver might be the best hockey game I've ever seen.

I am trying to think of all the bars that I went to during that wild run, and I don't think a single one still exists today.

Thank you for cheering me up.

The only one to ever top that comeback was this. Except we lost that series.

I was 20 at the time. Round 1 against Van I was living in Rez at UofC and it was tense as there were a lot of Nucks and Flames fans. At the start of the 2nd round i got an apartment in Kensington with my buddy and took the train to the red mile almost every game. It was the time of my life What a glorious time

"Shirts off for Kiprusoff..."

Who if I recall, was some kind of local celebrity, maybe a musician or an athlete or some such...

I certainly did approve of his influence on the young ladies of the city at the time.

The only time my ears have ever rang was game 3 against Vancouver. I have never heard the dome like that before. It was awesome. Great memories, and hopefully this rebuild will lead to another great run, only with one difference: we win.

I was in university at the time and I had a friend that I recently met who also was a diehard fan despite all the tough years leading up to it. I think it was in Nov or Dec, after I listened to a Flames-Avs game that finished with the Flames losing in OT after a high scoring affair that clearly favoured Colorado in shots, I told my friend how awesome our new goalie played and how I really had a good feeling about him. One of the most vivid memories of that year I had of that team, and how excited for them I was even though they were far from a favourite to be successful that year.

I really really miss Mike Rogers.

I still can't watch any video from that playoff year, nothing at all. In fact, it's the only year of Rockem Sockem I haven't watched. I own it, never opened it.

Yeah. A decade.

Time to get over it. Next thing we know we're going to be looking back at this in 30 years and realize that suddenly we've become our worst fear - living in the past just like Oiler fans.

Does any other NHL fanbase celebrate losing in a Stanley Cup final more than we do? Good lord this is starting to get embarrassing.

You must be a blast at parties.

I'm awesome. Know what I don't do? Keep talking about a great party that ended 10 years ago.

Pretty much divorced my wife for two months and lived on my brothers couch (game days) which was a block and a half off "The Red Mile". And I am still making amends for my little "vacation" to this day.

Totally worth it.
