Calgary Flames' Lanny McDonald raises the Stanley Cup in Montreal Thursday, May 25, 1989 after Flames defeated Canadians. May used to be the month when NHL playoff hockey grabbed the attention of Canadians. The lockout ruined that experience this year, but vivid memories remain from Stanley Cup play in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. (CP PICTURE ARCHIVE - Bill Grimshaw) (BILL GRIMSHAW)
