Macoun's dizzy spells suffered in Montreal officially called a concussion (not an highly diagnosed condition back then)
Mention of Carey Wilson's hot streak- I can attest to this- I grabbed him in the last round of a hockey pool that year (and Sandstrom was my 2nd last pick) once Wilson was traded from Hartford to New York those 2 guys were put on the same line and were very productive- helped win me some $$
eesh I forgot how far off the 500 pace Lanny was at this point- he did kick it into gear to end his career
and yes of course while its nice the Flames had some added players, no surprise old Slats isn't going to be too generous. why add the reigning ROY Nieuwendyk- on pace for another big season on the league's top team when you've got Jimmy Carson and an injured Denis Savard to look after
yeah I was thinking the same thing, the strength of that draft was generally European....although really not the best draft through and through...unless you were the Detroit Red Wings
I don't remember that particular story about Probert and was surprised to see Yzerman's comments. They definitely hurt Probert's reputation (even though they're telling the truth) but it isn't anything you would ever hear from another player these days.

Yeah, way different PR situation now a days with teams tightly run on what gets said and by who. Teams now shield problem players from public criticism from within as much as possible to avoid lowering trade value.
Back then it was just "Yeah, so this guy sucks and is hard to be on a team with so we're going to try to trade him", lol.
Cheveldae lookin' like Chris Osgood in that video! I always sort of lump Chev and Bob Essensa together as two goalies who came up around the same time and had pretty good runs only to be traded for one another and then really fall off the map. They might be two really good examples of the last of that 80s style goalie to come up only to get fully exposed in the Brodeur/Hasek mid 90s era.
Also, Probert, Oates and Klima to Edmonton for Jimmy Carson! Wow. That would have been an amazing deal for the Oil.

its pretty interesting because Carson was eventually dealt to Detroit for Klima and the 'other ' Adam (Graves) as well as Murphy....and Oates too was dealt by Detroit that offeseason in a dud deal for Federko
and the guy who seemed to be at the center of it all- Probert- didn' t he stay in Detroit for another 3 or 4 years?
huh, not sure why I don't remember Kevan Guy as a Canuck, despite the fact he actually played more for them than the Flames and appeared in one 89 playoff game
don't recall all of those shenanigans (the delays on both sides I guess) with the Ramage suspension
I mean I understand that there is some truth to what was being written- given that Lanny' s last year was painful at times, but the line about Lanny having to pay for the cup with his dignity maybe didn't quite come to pass , what with him both scoring his 500th and scoring on the fateful May night at the forum
and does this sound familiar...."for the 7th straight time the Flames surrendered the first goal..."

Awesome shot if Patter in that prior game against Vancouver. I'm sure he'd love to see that now! I didn't know this previously, but after watching the '89 Game 6 YT video featuring Patter; and also the Game 6 Sportsnet video with Ron Mclean, Gretz, and Lanny; that Patter's stick was an absolute tree trunk and weighed a ton. Sounds like the boys chirped him a lot for it back then, and still do!
A while back, a fellow CP'er informed me that he had several full game videos
of the 1988-89 season. I recently received them and on this Friday morning
have likely gotten in way over my head trying to edit them into a
presentable 10 minute or so package.
There's about a hundred ways (that I've thought of so far) that this
could go spectacularly wrong, but sometime in the next few hours I
will try to upload the first game I am working on, which was
game 46 from Tuesday, January 17, the 7-1 win over Detroit.
This oughta be interesting.
p.s. The person who sent me the videos didn't say they wanted to be
identified here, so I'll say thank you in a private e-mail, but feel free to
out yourself if you're so inclined.

BRAVO! This thread keeps getting better and better. I would love to see those full game vids. Trying to see if I have anything at my house that I could contribute. It's too bad because I've got the entire volume of Hockey News for the 88-89 season at my parents house, that would be cool to somehow contribute.
