Calgary Flames Dear John Letter

[Reggie Dunlop]

You used to call me on my cell phone.

Yeah I feel like that sometimes. But then I get bored and watch the next game.

Who is John Letter?

Thanks for the blast from the past. A lot of good posters in that thread (and hitting the like buttons) that haven't been around for awhile. Its amazing how much CP has grown and changed over the years

That turned out well.

It wasn't just that first game. I seem to recall he went and scored another pair of goals in Toronto the following night.

[EDIT] I was wrong. Looking at his game log it looks like he scored two goals on 5 March in Philadelphia, and then was quiet the following two games in Carolina and Atlanta (6–8 March). Then from 12–14 March he scored 6 goals and 8 points in three games v. NJ, Detroit and culminating in a crazy 5 point explosion in Toronto. The Flames actually lost that game 8–6.

That Toronto game, I remember he scored a goal by flipping the puck over a defender’s head, skating around him, then batting it in. I thought we’d suddenly become elite, acquiring such skill.

That was one of the crazy-luckiest goals I have ever seen. I remember feeling the same way.
