  1. I are quickly approaching 20 yrs on this site. At that time I was single, living in Greece. Today i'm married, have 3 kids (one 3 yrs away from College) and live in the land of the Brass Bonanza. What am I getting to? After alllll these years, I NEVER get tired of Cuccumber reliving that epic game 2. Thank you my friend.

  2. It’s a bit like Stalin writing a thank-you note to Trotsky

  3. I was in the Forum for Game 2 of the Finals in 1993. Standing room. We were down 2-1 for much of the 2nd and 3rd period, already down 0-1 in the series and facing the bleak possibility of flying to LA down 0-2. We were generating nothing. I remember being struck by the realization that, even though we were the Montreal Canadiens, the script might not come true…we might actually lose this Cup, the one Cup of my adult life. Midway through the third, with the arena dead silent and the French guy next to me slumped in drunken despair, I yelled out, “where are the ghosts?? Rocket Richard?? Howie Morenz?? Guy Lalfeur?? WHERE ARE THE GHOSTS??” Then the McSorley illegal stick got called with two minutes left, and in an unbelievably ballsy bit of coaching Demers pulled Roy for a two-man advantage. Eric Desjardins scored to tie it up on that blast that shook the world, the entire place went insane: the French guy shrieking and hugging me, lunatics running up and down the aisle, beer flying everywhere - never had so many had such a radical mood swing from complete despair to total ecstasy in so short a time. Amidst the bedlam, my buddy tapped me on the shoulder and said: “there’s your ghosts.” 😉

  5. Great story! I went through the same feeling watching it on TV as a university student. With all the OT wins and the pens being knocked out, I thought no way we can lose looked like lose. We were on the seven year max cycle without a cup. Than in game 2, it seemed like it was lights out. Couldn’t believe the come back! Miss the forum. It’s been downhill since the move!

  6. We don't know all the circumstances behind the decision to shut the season down for Cole. Did he want to continue playing? Was it an injury he couldn't make worse by trying to play through it? I like to think they put a lot of thought into it. I don't have enough info to be critical yet.

  8. At the game near Leaf goal; Habs had some good chances but didn't hit the net to count as a shot

  9. I can think of one reason it wasn't made a lot sooner, Caufield would have wanted to get to Game 42 for bonus purposes and it wouldn't have looked good for the organization to shut him down and take away eligibility for some of his 'A' bonuses worth $212,500, especially heading into contract talks. Earlier in the day, it was suggested that something happened on Friday that made them take this action so there might have been some sort of flare-up where everyone went okay, now it's time.

  10. For the CHL.guys you need to have less than 12 healthy forwards to qualify. And have to send them back as soon as you have 12 again.
