Eljohn,
When the friends were playing hockey in the O'Hare Airport, Chicago, it was June 15th, 2011. After the game was over, John went over to pick up the puck (stuffed animal). He looked in the gift shop and remembered another time he had been in an airport gift shop. They cut to a scene of John in the gift shop buying wine. This was 2001...9/11 to be exact at Logan International Airport in Boston. He's wearing the same outfit which is why it's confusing. But they modified his face to look younger. Wrinkles and lines gone...etc. He walks to the gate and misses flight 11, which was headed for Los Angeles for the Real Estate convention, but instead it crashed into the first Twin Tower in NYC. His buddy Dave was on that flight. John had convinced Dave to go on that Real Estate trip with him. If John never invited Dave on that trip, Dave would not have died in that plane crash. John believed that he was the one who should have been on that plane, not Dave. The writers never went back to 2011 after the guys were playing hockey at the airport. All 4 of them, including John, boarded a flight together and headed to to watch the Boston Bruins defeat the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
