I loved that '87 run. Coming back from a 3-1 deficit to Toronto in the Norris Finals (equivalent to today's conference semi-finals), Hanlon's heroics, Demers' enthusiasm, raucous crowds at the Joe, those little girls singing the national anthem, pushing the Oilers a bit. I was living in d/t Toronto going to U of T during the school year then, and just a few months later the epic Jays-Tigers pennant race came to a head.

Red Wings on ESPN from Game 7 vs Toronto and Yzerman's in Game 1 vs Edmonton. Love how the announcers noted that many people second-guessed Demers earlier in the year for naming someone as young as Yzerman to the captaincy
