Game 6 was Messier's trick. Matteau put it away in game 7.
Yeah, it was 7 then. Mattau, Mattau! The announcer kept screaming it. Man, I was broken hearted.
I remember writing a report on Messier that year. I read a very intresting article about the influence he had on that team. The things he did to change, even in the locker rooms to make them more of a team. Without him they wouldn't have won the cup that year. It'd still be 1940.
