I was 8 years old in 1981 when the flames went on their run in the first year here. I just remember little snippets of the playoffs, but not specifically game 7 vs Philly.
I do remember them losing to the North Stars and crying as they got eliminated.
And so began my irrational emotional attachment to this team that I still carry 41 years later.

Dallas has been a much tougher out than expected thanks mostly to the heroics of their rookie netminder and some timely offence from old man Pavelski.
It’s been a frustrating series for the team as well as the fans. My gut feeling is that if the Flames can find a way to get through this tonight, it’ll be a huge monkey off their backs, and they’ll end up dismantling the Oilers in 5 games or less on the way to the conference finals. Just a feeling I have. Make it happen, Flames!

I'm pulling the biggest move I have for some juju, I took my signed kipper jersey out of the shadow box to wear tonight. Go flames, win by any means necessary

If their is a god and this franchise isn't cursed, the Flames WIN. I've never seen a more undeserving team (Dallas) have a chance to win a series. They've been dominated in virtually the entire series. I really hope Oettinger comes back down to earth tonight and lays an egg.
