"It was retro night at the Saddledome,» O'Brien explained during the latest episode of the Missin' Curfew podcast. «I jump out for the TV timeout, and she's scraping the ice, and I come over and say, �Hey hey, we're staying the night, are you gonna go to Cowboys?' She said, �Yeah, I'll be at Cowboys after.' I said, �Okay, I'll meet you there.' Whatever. Good.»
O'Brien's reminisced that his coach at the time Alain Vigneault, somehow caught wind of what he was doing.
"I skate back, and as I skate back, AV obviously had the iso-cam on me and he's like, �OB, keep your f*cking head in the game!' And I'm like, �Yeah, I got it.' And he's like, �Are you f*cking serious? Let's go here."
O'Brien got a little nervous late in the game as the Flames cut the lead to 3-2.
"Now I'm worried,» O'Brien said. «I'm like �if we lose this game, and I went over the ice girl [when we were winning]'»
