I was at the Hitmen game tonight and it continues to be really great hockey. I remember seeing a lot of Getzlaf and Ladd during the 04-05 season and although they now play on other teams, following their careers has been something pretty special.
It was a really great treat to see who this Phaneuf guy was that same season and how his shots would literally rocket off his stick towards the net. No wonder Darryl was so excited to draft him.
As for to tonights game the chances were going both ways with flashes of brilliance for both teams. It was also great to see Brent Sutter blow a gasket when his player get a major and a misconduct when one of the Rebel players laid out a hot on one of the Hitmen. I don't know what the attendance numbers were but again, a little sparse for a quality product.
