That was awesome. My room mates at the time were huge Edmonton fans so naturally, I had to cheer for the Kings. Man, that was when Cole was still a pretty good announcer, too.

Edit: It's the Kings announcer on this one. He's not too bad, actually.

What do you think grapes would say about that winning goal celebration?

I was there




Ok no I wasn't but I was watching on TV.

that was terrific, because the Oilers would have KILLED the Canucks next

 

[elocomotive]

It is really difficult to watch the replay of that game...



























...because those Kings' jerseys are just hideous.

Eh. An amateur compared to the greatness that was David Tiger Williams.

That’s cool and all but why is it a picture of Craig Hartsburg?

Just imagine if he took more shots.

He's a firefighter in Burnaby now.

what an amazing time that was.

in hockey pools, you had to split Gretzky's goals and assists, and they would each be top 10 picks.
Mario got the same treatment

Wasn't it about this time in 1982 that Roger Neilson took over for Harry Neale behind the bench and lead the Canucks into the Stanley Cup finals?

Edit: March 21st, 1982.

By Game 75, the Canucks had a 26-33-16 record. On March 18, 1982 the Canucks beat the Habs 4-2, ending Montreal's sickening 27-game unbeaten streak at home. 2 nights later they were locked in a 3-3 tie with the Quebec Nordiques when the Harry Neale incident happened.

It began, as most Canuck incidents seemed to, with Dave Williams doing something. On this occasion, he ran Peter Stastny into the boards. Wilf Paiement (the younger brother of ex-Canuck Rosaire Paiement) came to Stastny's aid, pinning Tiger's face against the glass. This prompted a fan to reach around the glass by the Canuck bench and take a poke at Williams. And this prompted Harry Neale to run across the bench and take a swing at the fan. From there, all hell broke loose. In the end, the NHL suspended Harry Neale for ten games and Roger Neilson replaced him.
