What a great game to be at. I was in 316 row 1, so all three goals were scored in the opposite end from me. I've been to about 10 games, including 3 playoff games, at Rogers Arena and that was easily the loudest I've ever heard the fans. They needlessly cheered every hit, needlsy chanted Lack's name after every save, needlessly booed every offside and penalty, and had a Hiiiillllleeerrrr chant going most of the game. That said, after both of Calgary's goals you could hear a pin drop in the arena. After the 2nd goal 1/4 of the arena was out the door before the puck was dropped with 30 seconds left.

There were far fewer Flames fans at the arena than I thought there would be. Hopefully a few more make it to game two. With the Jump On going ahead I look forward to the red invasion (Red Wedding?) on Friday. There are so many fake jerseys in Vancouver. It goes with all the fake fans, but I'd guess over half of the jerseys I saw were knock offs.

I called the game 1 score exactly to my receptionist. I'm going with a 1-0 Calgary win tomorrow.
