I have posted this video on my blog already, but it's worth another look.
10 years ago, April 29,1997. 1st round of the playoffs, the Oilers return to the playoffs after a 5 year absence. Game 7 in Dallas. By all means, the Oilers shouldn't even of been in a game 7 in this series, but they kept at it and got it there. The greatest moment in playoff hockey is a game 7 in overtime. Cujo made save after save after save. Phenomenal saves at that. A relatively young team bound by determination and hard work. I had been watching playoff hockey since 1994, but not until the home town Oilers were back in it in 1997 did I start to become an Oilers fan. A die-hard one at that, within a year. I fell completely and hopelessly in love with the game of hockey and with the Oilers at this moment, and haven't looked back. Oh Cujo, you were the man back in the day. Purely unbelievable save.
