[@richard10661066]

I was working for TWA in st louis. I went to that game at the arena. ken wilson...the blues...kmox...st louis. great city...great airline...great days.

[@odiecalodie]

I was at that game, hands down best game I ever saw in person.

[@dentonyoung4314]

For people who have only watched hockey post-1995, those things you keep seeing in the highlight are called "goals". They're out of fashion today but back when I was growing up hockey games featured a lot of them. Also, St. Louis hockey fans are awesome. So glad the Blues finally won a Cup. This clip is now the SECOND-greatest moment in Blues history. :)

[@potsos]

This was such a competitive series, which was a real treat for Blues fans as we probably beat Calgary 2-3 times the entire decade in the regular season. The 80s were brutal for the Blues against the western Canadian franchises.

[@1234sunnny]

The Checkerdome was a great place to watch hockey

[@mattcapron3826]

I was listening to this on the radio on KMOX in St. Louis because the game was not televised. What a great memory!

[@williammoseley17]

Was one of the greatest finishes in Blues history up to the point of winning the cup this past season.

[@chessunderground]

The Blues in '86 were a "little engine that could" team....full of heart

[@craigwatts1448]

wow thanks for posting this ....just being transposed from texas that year in april 1986 and only having seen olympic hockey i was introduced to NHL overtime playoff hockey. i never got to see the end of that game... every year since and up until the overtime rule change NHL hockey had more balls and excitement than all other sports combined. redwings vs rockies... oh god the good old days.... the blues vs blackwings oh god more fights in the croud than in the arena.. i miss the rivalry

[@iamnewfie1]

awesome game.....watched it on cbc tv....

[@christophertote8912]

Dan Kelly did that game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! w Ron Reusch

[@misterjameswest]

Thanks for the information, I appreciate it! I remember first being able to watch lots of hockey on the USA network in the 80's. As they would show different games, sometimes I would get lots of Doc Emerick and Bill Clement, sometimes the great Dan Kelly, but Ken WIlson stood out to me as well!

[@superdavethecarpentersully7032]

the Barn was a great place to experience a game. RIP Wick

[@tscooter22]

I was there with at least 10 high school/college friends. We had great seats at the centerline of arena circle (the yellow seats above the blue parquet section). What an amazing night!

[@deshy88umkc]

I wish I could have been alive for this.

[@Osterreich3]

This series was great hockey entertainment. Either team could have won the series but it was Calgary with a Game 7 2-1 win. The Blues had a pretty talented but "no press coverage" team that many were surprised at. Great team cohesiveness, great bunch of personalities. It'll be hard to better the late 80's St. Louis Blues...

[@mooseymoosey4299]

unbelievable...

[@compassstl]

lol, I love the pop-up "captions"

[@SFFOOL76]

1986 nhl playoffs, the best playoffs ever

[@HellbenderSTL]

2019, the Manitoba Miracle!! LGB!!!!!

[@landrykkb]

How ironic that Dougie Gilmour and Rob Ramage were two of the final pieces to Calgary's 1989 Stanley Cup puzzle.Not to mention that Joey Mullen arrived there too just months before this series.

[@heatonrd]

Ken Wilson and Bill Clement

[@josephhale9198]

Dan Kelly was on the call kmox... ken Wilson bill Clement awesome too!!!

[@hoosierlooker]

That was Jacque Demers last home game as Blues coach, he would leave that summer for Detroit.

[@tomtrh]

Dan Kelly was just a couple booths down doing the game for CTV!

[@chrisuncleahmad789]

On the tying goal by Paslawski, I don't think Macoun could have done any worse. I mean, he was basically left open to get his pocket picked. And it certainly hurt Vernon's chances,- you saw where he was on the other side of the net

[@landrykkb]

The St.Louis Blues had much bettter teams on paper in the 24 years since then but only managed to get past the 2nd round only once since this in '01.

[@landrykkb]

@Osterreich3 St.Louis had better teams on paper since then with the likes of Brett Hull,Adam Oates,Wayne Gretzky,Glenn Anderson,etc.,but this 1986 edition played as a team per se,thanks largely in part to Jacques Demers.

[@landrykkb]

Then GM Jimmy Devellano had talked to Jacques Demers about coming to Detroit during that season.Under most circumstances that would be tampering,but it technically wasn't because Jacques Demers wasn't under contract in St.Louis.Even still,St.Louis had to be compensated with cash and I believe a few draft picks as well.

[@RpGfreak901]

What a comeback! Down 4-1 and coming back to win 6-5 in overtime! But what happened in Game 7?

[@cstbrent81]

Ohhh BABY!!! Time to slam a Wickenheiser 🍺.

[@RpGfreak901]

@Hallplante Calgary wouldn't have even made it that far if Edmonton didn't have that infamous screw-up against them.

[@woodyt56]

I didn't say bad. I said annoying. What used to drive me nuts was when the score would be, say, 4-1, and the team trailing would score making it 4-2, and Wilson would say 'and that makes it FOUR to two!' instead of 'and that makes it four to TWO.' You might say it's trivial but it was just one of many things about him drove me up the wall.

[@Hallplante]

@RpGfreak901 Calgary won Game 7 by 2-1 score. Flames then lost Cup finals to Montreal.

[@misterjameswest]

Anyone know who the announcers are?

[@GuyCybershy]

Blues traded Glimour to the Flames who helped them win the cup 3 years later.

[@josephhale9198]

Horrible trade

[@heatonrd]

I guess you don't listen to John Kelly? Or Federko? Or the Lightning's announcing team? Yikes. If Wilson is bad, I'd like to know who you consider good.

[@iamnewfie1]

ron caron stole wick,paslawski and delorme from the canadiens that year...

[@FlickM17]

"Oh baby" also got really old, otherwise Wilson was good. John Kelly is getting better... when he actually does play-by-play. Usually he's jabbering on about some lame story he had heard before the game. That's Federko's job as color-man. I'd like to see Bernie Federko's mustache (just the 'stache) give the intermission report.

[@iamnewfie1]

the blues would have taken the canadiens that year...

[@woodyt56]

Ken Wilson was the most annoying hockey announcer I ever heard
