    Default Habs Flames 1989 Game 6

    Sportsnet is airing this classic right now.
    Pretty amazing stuff.

    The Lanny mustache and the Pat Burns mustache - no wonder Matthews is trying to bring back staches. Awesome.
    The Montreal crowd - Just incredible the amount of emotion that crowd has for hockey and they still have it today. Best building atmosphere in the NHL.
    Bob Cole, Play by play: Best. Ever.
    Harry Neale, Color: One of the best ever.
    Doug Gilmour: What an absolute stud, pound for pound one of the greatest playoff performers in history
    Tough: Both teams were scrappy and mean, it's hard not to miss nasty hockey, but understanding how safety concerns have evolved the game is important

    Great game. Both teams were skating like the wind. So fun to watch.

    I must have missed that one. It seems every night I see the classic games on there, it's always a damn Leafs game.

    It's fun watching the old games. You really get a good feel for how the game has changed over the years, looking back at the games played in just the past 20-30 years. So much more hooking and holding back in those days. People can say the goalie gear was smaller and thats why scoring was up (the goalie gear was definitely smaller) but damn, the crap that the Gretzky's and Lemieux's had to deal with in regards to the extra stuff considered penalties today is unreal and really makes you impressed with the scoring back then.

    Then again, you can see the difference in the style of goaltending as well. Not much for butterfly goalies back in those days. Pretty much stand up style goaltending.

    I'd love to see some of the classic Oiler/Flames games or even the old school Habs/Nordiques games. Those were dandies!
