This entire day has been nothing but onions. Babcock super emotional all day, the interviews with the Flame players talking about it, the HNIC opening. The Jets and Hawks tribute at the start of the game was a beaut and the namebars amazing. After the first Jets goal the shot of the guy in a Humboldt jerseys who celebrates the goal and then hugs his daughter (perhaps a little tighter than he normally would). Coaches corner with a tribute all the way through with both Don and Ron trying to hold it together.
It’s a nothing game for us tonight but I’m...happy or glad (such terrible words but the only ones to say) I’m going tonight as a way to pay respect to The Broncos. Terrible events like this don’t always hit me but this one did...it must be the Saskatchewan roots in me that’s coming to the surface.
Today we are all Broncos.
