We're under way here at McMahon.
Calgary started with a powerhouse front line, running out
Gary Roberts,
Lanny McDonald and
Joe Nieuwendyk.
But it was Mike Vernon, in goal, who created the first signature moment of the game. Less than a minute into the game -- his first since he retired -- he made a smart save and helped turn the puck the other way.
Also interesting is that
Joel Otto, one of the best two-way centers of his generation, is playing defense in this game.
Also,
Martin Gelinas, a former Flame, is playing for Montreal, which has a short bench for this game.
