CALGARY -- He's not known as a goal scorer, so you would think that the one Steve Staios netted on Nov. 22, 2003 would stand out in his mind. But that isn't what he remembers most about that game."It was really, really cold,'' smiled the Calgary Flames' defenseman, who participated in the first Heritage Classic game between the Edmonton Oilers and Montreal Canadiens. "I remember the same thing as this. There was quite a build up and the fans really took a lot of pride in it in Edmonton. They had a great time and they showed their resilience staying through the whole game under those conditions. It brings back the roots of our game.''
Staois will be taking part in his second National Hockey League Heritage Classic tilt when the Flames and the Canadiens do battle on Sunday in the makeshift rink in the middle of McMahon Stadium.
