Went to the game lastnight as well, tickets were a birthday present from my wife. I knew there was gonna be a scrap between Grats and Sestito but didn't think a line brawl would break out! Great start to the game, Burrows was his little rat self, face washing guts then running away with his little jaw protector on, can't stand that guy.
The Nucks fans were actually pretty friendly, some drunk guy came up to me and yelled "Flames suck! ". I replied " yeah well you guys aren't gonna win the cup either!" He laughed and said you're right then went on his merry little way.
Really too bad we lost but I thought the guys played great and should hold their heads high for the effort. Backlund is a player, did all the little things and created some chances. I was also impressed with Byron, physical for a small guy.
