For those of us old enough to have watched the flames win the cup, where were you? We weren't 18 yet and watched a lot of games that year at Crystal Palace pool hall on Electric Ave. What a crazy place to be that night.
I was 14 years old and my best friend was a Habs fan.We made a bet, if the Habs won the Cup I would give him $5 but if the Flames won he owed me his Theo Fleury RC as he was a big hockey card collector. I remember grinning like an ass eating thistles when he had to hand that over, still have it.

Fair enough.
