I was at a bar just hanging out, and they had the game on all the TVs. It was packed but no one in particular cared to pay attention. I was getting caught up in conversation when I kept looking over to see them actually rushing the San Jose net and making some nice plays. And then Kipper making some incredible saves for a while, then the Backlund goal, (which was slick) and it started to really catch my attention seeing the boys actually playing well enough to win, and in the shark tank of all places. Didn't catch the 3rd period but it was such a shame to find out they lost it late in the game. Despite the circumstances I was actually hoping they would get a deserved win after that circus last game. We needed something good in all of this.
What makes me happier than anything though is to see that Kipper was a stone wall again. I was wondering how many more of those kinds of performances we would see before he'd hang them up. Makes the Flames fan in me very happy and in a weird way, sort of nostalgic. Good game.
