“You imagine and pray for something like this, but you don’t realistically think it’s going to happen,” Wings forward Brett Hull said. “A couple of us talked on the bench. We just said, ‘We keep looking up at the clock in disbelief at the score.’ ”
I remember I was terrified going into that game. The game six victory was the infamous Statue of Liberty Goal that had me convinced a thoroughly embarrassed Patrick Roy would use to run ice in his veins and stonewall the Wings in game seven. Then the goals started coming quickly and just like Hull, I reached a point where I simply could not believe what was going on.
