First game I've ever been to at Rogers Arena, and it was incredible. I was in section 103, and somehow it worked out that our rows were a little Flames fan oasis. Usually at the Dome, I catch myself being critical of the Flames. Not tonight. It was great being a fan in an opposing rink.
My favourite moment was there was a Flames fan near the end of the row with a Heritage Classic jersey on with the name plate "Re-tooling". There were some great Canucks fans around us, but he was being beaked by a real scumbag in front of him. One of those people who can't take a joke. In the middle of scumbag saying "We don't have a losing team" and "Who cares about your Stanley Cup?", I yelled over "Hey! You know what we don't have as well? Seventeen consecutive losing seasons!". Whole section was howling and the guy completely shut up.
