I still vividly recall goalie Jim Craig, with an American flag draped over his shoulders, looking into the stands immediately after the game ended yelling "Where's my father?" (Actually, it was "Wheyeh's mah fathah?") :-)
And Mike Eruzione's post-game interview where he said (and I'm paraphrasing) "This is the pinnacle. Nothing can beat this. I'm not playing hockey again." And he kept his word.
yes...good stuff. BTW, the guy that runs the NY State Fair was the boy that brought the flag that Craig wore...He tells a great story about it.
