I was at the first preseason game too. Probably the most intense preseason game in NHL history lolI was lucky to be at both Game 3 Nashville comeback and the 1st pre-season game. Slight edge to the pre-season game, as it somehow exceeded every possible hope and expectation anyone had after 15 years in the wilderness of resentment. Buff's first shift and our first rounder Scheifele scoring 2+2. It was NUTS.
Connor's series winning 3OT goal getting no love. Another casualty of the pandemic.
You’re expecting our second round pick this year to be that good?!Ask me again in June.
The crowd after Ellett's goal is the loudest I've heard anywhere.Man I'm old. I was at that Edmonton game when Ellet scored. I thought the upper deck was going to collapse.
I'd go with Buff's first shift though from the modern era. I wasn't at the Preds game otherwise that would likely be it.
The first season our ticket group was shocked when I took the first pre-season game with my second pick in the draft (home opener against Montreal was my first pick). I was more emotional at the pre-season game than I was at the regular season home opener. There were easily more electric games in the first season (Boston comes to mind) but that first shift was insane. Buff looking around and nodding at the crowd as he went to the penalty box was priceless.
Yeah, I think the Minnesota series deserves some love. Up to that point we had to hear "Yeah, why don't you guys win a playoff game first before you trash talk". Then it was "Yeah, why don't you guys win a playoff series first before you trash talk". That Minnesota series win put an end to all that. And then the Nashville series kicked it to the curb.Unfortunately it is the announcement of the team's return.
Nothing on the ice comes close, although if there were fans I the building for the Edmonton sweep, it may have been in the running for me.
If you asked me to pick a real on ice moment, it would be Joe Morrow's 3-2 goal to give the franchise its first playoff win. I had nightmares after minny took the lead in that game that the franchise was cursed.
