27 Years Ago...
...give or take a few days, this happened.
Where did the time go ? This is before most of you DEPS were born.
I remember where I was. I was 13 years old and laying on my parent's gameroom floor, hockey stick in hand, watching the game on TV. Although we thought it was live, apparently it was on delay. After they won, I remember people honking their horns on the street and running outside.
I just got the dvd "Miracle" which is awesome. My 6 year old son now knows where the term "Herbies" came from when he's skating at practice. :D

That aside, it's the greatest moment in sports, hands down.
Your 6 year old son is already doing Herbies?! That poor kid is going to be the next Sidney Crosby lol.
I grew up playing competitively, and thought that "Herbies" sucked. They have nothing on Monkey Fuckers.

I'm not the way I am because I was a Ranger - I was a Ranger because of the way I am.

That was faked by the way, it was filmed in Hollyweird.
