just listen to our hockey fans.

 

You guys probably won't believe this, but I did a shot with Gretzky & Semenko at Mulligans on Hertel that night after the game for my b-day. Don't have any Polaroid proof, but I was with about 10 UB grad students that night who'll back me up. We both did B-52s and I had to buy ...

I was at the game where Roy broke the all-time wins record, and, suffice it to say, the crowd in DC was not nearly as gracious.

I, too, was at that game. I can't believe it was 30 years ago. For those with better memories than me, I'll ask for a memory check. Did he tie the record the game before with Bob Sauve in net?
