Also the 1st game of the playoffs against the Caps was on my wife's birthday that season. Got the Happy Birthday message up on the screen...I was all proud of myself. She wasn't impressed.

She did like the name plate necklace in diamonds though....so ghetto.
You do realize Vernon first looked at you and the rueful smile and wave he gave to your wife was one of empathy akin to how a parent might look at a child going off to war.In 1989 you could go to the box office and get any seat in the house for $28 or less. I have a Row 1 $28 ticket for the home opener against Calgary somewhere in the house. We sat just to the side of Mike Vernon twice...He smiled and waived to my wife....never really cared for goaltenders since.
Glass Sprong sounds like an underground 1980's new york punk band.
I was a good boy by 89'. Had my hair cut and was probably wearing my highschool letterman jacket in October. I was able to fool a lot of people in thinking that I was respectable...two years earlier would've been very iffy.

I think I had cut my hair by that point. I went through about four short relationships in 1989 before meeting my wife late in the year. I knew she was the one because she was willing to go to games and have fun when she could not have cared less about hockey. Well, that and she didn't run away screaming when she saw me unlike most other people.
Nobody ever said just Ing....it was always "Peter Ing"...said real quick it sounded like a verb petering.ah yes, glass tiger....80s band from newmarket ontario
i remember newmarket had an AHL team with goaltending 'legends' allan bester, peter ing and jeff reese
Has anyone seen a live show that they regret? I saw a number of acts I was not that into at the time but most of them impressed me. In retrospect I'm really glad I was able to see King Crimson with Adrian Belew and Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers and even ELP. The wife and I recently went to see Steely Dan open for the Eagles. We are both big fans of Steely Dan and I was not expecting much from the Eagles but they were very good. Of course you know every song but they still sound good and play their instruments well and they were into the show and their interactions with the audience. Live music is truly one of life's greatest treasures for me.
the only live shows I've seen that disappointed me were Eddie Money who was drunk as a skunk and it hurt his singing and Bruce on the Tunnel of Love tour when he refused to play any of his hits and it was a good but not great concert as a result. Of course, I'd seen Bruce before and had experienced him playing his crowd pleasing favorites so the new show was a letdown for me.
