1987. Stanley Cup Finals. Game 7. Glenn Anderson seals the deal for the #Oilers. Great shot by Anderson but I can't stop watching the explosion at Northlands Coliseum by the #LetsGoOilers fans in perfect unison. For this goal in particular, I can't stop watching the crowd. pic.twitter.com/Yn5nLlnldp
