Leafs, Jets, Oilers and Canucks carry Canada’s Cup hopes with drought at 30 years
Josh Morrissey remembers the city coming to life before his eyes.
A nine-year-old Flames fan in the spring of 2004, he was captivated by every Jarome Iginla chance and Miikka Kiprusoff save during Calgary’s run to the Stanley Cup final.
“It was just an awesome experience,” said Morrissey, now a star defenceman for the Winnipeg Jets. “Living and dying on every win and loss.”
Hockey fans across Canada are once again preparing themselves to experience that annual thrill and torment.
