Back from the game. My thoughts:
- Vegas definitely goes above and beyond to engage the fans. Some stuff was certainly cheesy, pulling the Excalibur sword out of the stone at center ice and the flames knight bowing to the golden knight, but they definitely have a good time
- There were ton of flames fans there! (I very clearly heard the C and RED in the anthem)
- Knights fans were nice (way better than Anaheim and La), I had to educate a few of them on how icing works etc
- Flames looked super sloppy and way too cute with little passes. Passing was not crisp at all, they looked slow
- that overturned goal was a joke. My buddy who was there with me is a die hard NFL fan but not much of a hockey fan. He said “this is bad for hockey and bad for fans” Nailed it.
- I was pumping Johnny up for my buddies but he was a pretty big let down. Looks like going through the motions right now, disappointing.
- Rittich stop with the fancy ass puck playing, you’re not Mike Smith and even if you were you should still stay in your damn net
- 3rd period magic looks dead now. I was also pumping up how awesome we are in the 3rd and they sure looked flat again
- Overall fun game, disappointing result. Before the game I told my buddies that I would be ok with a loss today if it meant the flames won the cup, so I took one for the team today, you’re welcome!
