You know, I think about, Bob, honestly, I remember years ago at the All-Star game, we did two round tables.

We did a captain's table one year and we did a goaltender's table one year with Ken Dryden as kind of our guy with the most gravitas.

But I think about up in heaven right now, Ken Dryden's with Bernie Perrant and Ed Jockerman and Glenn Hall and Wayne Thomas and Greg Mellon and Mark LaForse.

These are all guys we lost this year.

just makes me pine for that great goaltender's round table we had at the All-Star.

Well, the one that I didn't cover, 71, Ken Dryden upsetting Boston, is my favorite as a fan.

My favorite working, you know, that's probably the 87 Flyers and Edmonton.

It was my first.

It's the one Mac T told you the story of, you know, they were coming home to win in five, and when Glenn Anderson went around, Doug Crossman.

It's funny, Bob.

I remember the crowd in the Northlands Coliseum erupting when Anderson scored that goal from the high slot.

It was very similar to when Cole Perfetti scored for Winnipeg to save the day in the dying seconds last year against St.

Louis.

And the whole crowd, it's rare that...

Everybody in the building jumps at once.

They did it for Anderson's goal, and they did it last spring in Winnipeg.

So that moment in 87, I just remember how tired everybody was.

I remember the grumpy reporters.

I just remember doing the luncheon at the convention center in Edmonton, and Glenn Sater making fun of me.

I have so many vivid memories of that particular Stanley Cup.
