Totally agreed. But man, as a Flames fan who went out there just for the spectacle, I enjoyed the relentless mediocrity of the event immensely. From the fake cotton "snow" to the closed roof to the miserable light drizzle to the Luongo/Lack/Tortorella controversy to the fact that the Senators just made Vancouver their bitch.
Honestly, I think "Heritage Classic" was appropriate, since the entire event just screamed "Vancouver Canucks". That was their NHL heritage in a nutshell: They exist and they suck.
But BC Place is what it is. And what it is is a functional concrete circle that is far too large for 99% of the events held there. It is also a big step up on McMahon.
