Met a guy in university who grew up a Leaf fan and, until they win the Stanley Cup (insert punchline here), will never get over Game 5 of the 1986 Norris Division final. Toronto blew a 3-0 lead and lost 4-3 to St. Louis in overtime. Mark Reeds scored the winner. Every time my friend would get angry at something, he'd say, in a quiet voice, "Mark %&*#@ Reeds." When Owen Sound (where he coaches) reached the Memorial Cup, I got an email that read, "Mark %&*#@ Reeds." First time I'd heard from the guy in 15 years.
That's right, baby. I remember that night.

Yeah, I get where that guy is coming from.
