What I'm most thrilled about was the almost complete lack of canuck fans in the dome. So awesome to watch the game surrounded only by other Flames fans.

Well I have no voice left, so it sure wasn't me being quiet!! But agree - the place was quieter. Don't know if it was nerves or that the 2nd and 3rd were so defensive / close checking. It felt for a while like the 'nucks were only a goal away from coming back hard, but the Flames just kept up a ferocious forecheck and the pushback never arrived.
Anyway - got pretty loud in the last few minutes, with everyone on their feet to close out the game. What a team effort - no stars, no prima donnas, just all working together.
