Anyone else love this team as much as I do? They didn't have the amazing offensive talent of the Oilers dynasty, but I think they had some of the best heart players the league has ever seen, such as Macdonald, Gilmour, and Roberts. I feel to have players like that on your team is much more valuable then any Kovalchuk or Ovechkin. Thoughts?

I agree. Heart and Grit are the two key aspects in every championship team. Skill and Talent rank a close second, but without the gritty and hearty players, a team wouldn't go very deep in the playoffs. That's why players like Gilmour, Roberts and Macdonald have a Stanley Cup ring, and despite Kovalchuk and Ovechkin's high offensive output, they're teams still sit out of the playoffs this year because they lack the grit and heart of teams like the '89 Flames. But overall, a great team, and an amazing run for the cup.

Mcdonald was a great guy and gilmour is my uncle.. The 1989 flames were awsome!

I have a bunch of cassete movies of there season when they won the cup.. Joe newendyke or whatever was a great player to..

Also i like Mike Vernon what a great goalie i remember him and i always will
