    Amazing to think back and remember that millions of us watched it on tape-delay and had no clue of the outcome......that was the pre-CNN, pre-ESPN, pre-internet world that we lived in....in fact, I am not sure we even had cable TV at that point in my neighborhood. What a feeling....what a celebration.

    RIP Herbie indeed...

    This is probably the most amazing and inspirational US sports story ever.

    Aren't you too young to remember those? ......I know its going to sound sexist but I'm impressed a female remembers the miracle on Manchester. I think the incident that happened right after this picture was taken factored into the outcome! :)

    I was 6! and my whole family EXPLODED!!! it was and is one of my favorite Hockey related memories...imagine a house FULL of Mexifornians in the middle of the barrio WATCHING HOCKEY...I used to be Simmer, so my brother could be Dionne when we played in our socks on the newly mopped back porch (we used taped brooms and a REAL puck!) we have always been LA fans...Dodgers, Kings, Rams, (Lakers - but not so much for me)

    I hated Grant Fuhr...and when he was with LA I was so pissed...wasn't a big "great one" fan either...I was all about my Golden/Purple boys...I kinda blamed him for the whole direction change for the Kings...besides I liked it that only "Real" fans followed the sport...I hate it when people say he "brought hockey to LA"

    Foxy was slick on the ice and Charlie Simmer!!! and do I even have to mention Marcel???

    I had a crush on Robitaille when he was a punk ass kid from Quebec...he turned out well, didn't he?? :D

    some of my best memories are sports related...

    (by the way - I am over the tuna incident tee hee hee :o )
