Well, Lanny, I guess I'll save this one for you.

This might be a stupid question.

When you guys won your Stanley Cup in Calgary, was it at the Saddledome?

That's awesome.

Obviously, probably sad to see the old barn going, but how excited are you for the World Cup of Hockey coming to Calgary, the new building?

And I'm sure it'll be a pretty emotional say bye to the Saddledome, though.

Well, yeah, there are little ways from that.

But yeah, that team that we had, first of all, we had a tough team.

We had guys that cared about each other.

I mean, that's a pretty good example of how success starts.

But we had a very talented team.

I think there was a lot of guys that were traded in, but I think there was 13 or 14 that were

We're first round picks around the league.

Sometimes, you know, things just don't work out, but, but Pat Quinn brought us all together and seemed to bring the right guys together.

Cause there were, there were good people, like good, good guys, like I said, good, tough guys.

And that could play.

And we, you know, we didn't have a great regular season, but we, we probably had a better team the year or two before.

But we just, you know, you run into the right team at the wrong time or hot goalie or whatever, or just don't play good against that team.

And we didn't make it very far.

But something clicked that year.
