arty: what a fucking series that was, David against Goliath....
when the Oilers were up 3-1 going back to edmonton, they purposly had the catering department wheel cartons of champagne by the Flyers Dressing room....
was a heroic effort by the FLyers who were basically playing the "Dream Team of Hockey"
lets go through that team:
Gretzky
Messier
Fuhr
Kurri
who else?

loved that guy...had great reg season...blues...how many times have they dominated reg season only to choke in the playoffs....i believe they have the longest current playoff streak in all of sports...20+ years! Fuhr had the sweetest mask too with all the piano keys wrapped around it!

This is a common urban legend in many sports. I had heard this same Legend about the Islanders doing that to the Oilers and the Stars doing that to the Devils in the early 90's. Heard it in the Yankees/Braves series.
My favorite was the one where supposodly someone got ahold of Twins ALCS championship hats and put one on the rally monkey after game 3 (yankees wound up losing the series)
I know. For years the stories were passed around word of mouth - so they took on a little twist and in the pre-internet days, there was no snopes.com to verify.
With that being said - I was lucky enough as a youth to tour Northlands (now called something else up there) while visiting family. There may have been some truth to the flyers seeing the champagne they would never taste. :drink:
The place has been renovated, but in the "old days" the layout was such so that the corridor went
Entrance / Hallway / Visitors / Refs / Home / Media / Catering
Anything that would have to be held in catering would have had to go past both lockers. (funny how I can't remember my new cell number but I remember that trip with such vividness...granted I was too young to enjoy sins like beer and vodka)
