I remember this game like it was yesterday. 2nd year student with no money, I rented a TV from granada TV for $8 a month just for the playoffs. Those were Tha days.
***** The commentators for the ESPN broadcast (which is what this clip is from) were Ken Wilson and Mickey Redmond. In Canada, this game was called by Don Wittman, Dick irvin, and John Davidson.
You couldn't have said it better. The Oilers just never seemed to have control of the series, & Calgary played AS WELL AS THEY COULD HAVE POSSIBLY HAVE PLAYED. As the guy mentioned below, in 84 Calgary took the Oilers to 7 games in the quarterfinals, In this series, they had John Tonelli & Joe Mullen. That helped. Still. the fact the Oilers lost three games at home is amazing. Just when it seemed they had control, getting 2 goals at the end of the 2nd period to tie, IT happened.
it was so wonderful that it happened.....everyone, i mean everyone was overjoyed.....elated....yes, the devil can be defeated....by his own evil........
The underdog final of all time. Vernon and Roy were both rookies. Calgary beat Edmonton (the Steve Smith/Fuhr mishap). I was at this game (age 10), thirteen rows from the ice behind the Habs bench(section P, row 13). A Habs fan ran down into our section just before the game ended and started mimicing my tears and taunting me. There's a clip of him jumping on the ice after the game ended. I thought of him immediately when Calgary beat the Habs in 1989. Roy was so good.
@ih8japscraps This Habs team might very well have had the lowest winning percentage of all Stanley Cup winners,and that even includes those from the Original Six Era and even long before that.
@ThePresident45 It was no fluke Calgary beat Edmonton in 1986,contrary to popular belief.Granted,the Flamesgot a break in that seventh game when Steve Smith put the puck in his own net,but it was up to them to capitalize on that and indeed they did.
Yeah right.Lol. Edmonton dominated that division that year. They had 17 losses. Calgary had 31 losses. How can you even say that's not an upset. Had Calgary beat Mtl, Calgary would have had possibly the worst winning percentage of any team to win the cup.
@ThePresident45 The Oilers had their way with everybody for 3 years up until that series,it seemed.Actually,wait,Calgary took them to 7 games also just 2 years prior to this.
@industrialsun The Oilers losing to the Flames in 7 games hardly had everything to do with Steve Smith`s faux pas.Granted,it happened to be the deciding goal in that Game 7,bbut the Flames were shuttting down the mighty Oilers all through that series and Mike Vernon stood on his head in that Game 7 after the Oilers fought hard to win.
exactly why oilers can never be compared to isles dynasty they didnt have the heart when things got tough. . i wish the flames could of held on to their lead in game 7 in 84
excellent my daughter was born the night that they won,, amazing 25 yrs ago,,ppl were rioting it was a mess ,, unneeded,, WTH HAPPENED TO AIR HORNS & CONFETTI?
Hey Stefan Rasporich. How do you like that Montreal kicked your team's ass in the 1986 finals? Does that upset you? Montreal has 24 Stanley Cups, after they won again in '93. They have a history. The Flames have nothing, just a lousy team in a crappy building in a pathetic city, if you can call it that. When the oil runs dry, what kind of future does Calgary have? Are you going to turn Banff into a coal mine? It wouldn't surprise me.
What’s the matter with you? Why are you speaking like you don’t feel good about yourself and you are projecting it like a bully. You can be a better person and you should be. Your family and friends and most Importantly yourself deserve to have a happy person
*that parade on Ste Catherine was one of the highlights of my life*

I was a high school aged Habs fan living in upstate NY. Watched this game at the wedding reception for a cousin.
I could listen to Ken Wilson and Mickey Redmond call hockey all day long.
i wasn't even alive when this happened but watching calgary score with 40 seconds left and come pretty close to tying the game gives me anxiety
HABS FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1986 was one of the few years from that period when the Oilers went out early . . . lost to Calgary in the quarterfinals
the habs were lucky the oilers had an a unlucky year.wayne gretzky and the oilers would have killed the habs.
Always thought the 1985-86 Oilers team was the best team of their Dynasty.
@@johnchristopherliscombe9849 Ha HA Get out of here with your revisionist history.
was @this game with my family, Remember it Vividly, Tout simplest Mon Patrick
And then we won 3 years later ;)
I have this game on VHS somewhere
Les canadiens étais très bon

'86 was the Whalers' year to win the Stanley Cup . . .
drôle de voir Gainey manger la puck et vouloir garder la coupe ensuite !
@industrialsun You still have to beat somebody in a 7 game series to either advance or win the Stanley Cup,regardless of who that might be.
You might be right,I'd have to look that up.But these Habs had 20 other teams to compete against as opposed to 5 for those Blackhawks.
I miss Jiggs McDonald & color man Boom Boom Geoffrion calling for the Flames in Atlanta.

From the point of view of the Whalers, it was a golden opportunity
