I missed my dad's death, and five years later I missed my daughter's birth. The Whalers had lost Game 2 of the Adams Division semifinals at Montreal Forum on April 21, 1992. My wife's due date was still two weeks away. First child, I was told it should be fine to go. I got a call at the hotel the morning after Game 2. My wife's water had broken. She'd give birth probably around 6 p.m. I took a direct flight to Boston. I was so geeked up running around for 20 minutes looking for my car in the airport lot that I forgot I had driven my wife's car. It was parked right in front of me.
