Aftermath
Wickenheiser's overtime goal set off the crowd at the Arena, a mass of cheering and celebration that continued well after both teams had left the ice. St. Louis couldn't rest on their laurels though, as they still faced an uphill battle by having to play Game 7 on Calgary's home ice, the Olympic Saddledome, two days later. The Blues made things interesting, but lost Game 7 by the score of two to one. The Flames Game 7 victory sent them to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in their fourteen year history. (The franchise spent their first eight seasons as the Atlanta Flames before moving to Calgary in 1980.) Unfortunately for the Flames, they would lose in five games to the Montreal Canadiens.
