Got comped tickets to the game courtesy of a friend who works there....great fun! They kept showing all these goals scored against the Flames - but some of them were clearly from 2 or 3 years ago ha ha...kinda funny.
The first period I thought was pretty entertaining - fast good clean hockey. Van got in the way a lot, but the 4th line was superb! Flying around controlling play. I'll take that in the playoffs any day. Even if the first line just holds their own, that's all that's needed. If the bottom 3 or 6 can produce, that will do the job well for us.
The 'Nuck fans were pretty incensed with Smith at the end. Booing him and jeering. Smith couldn't have cared less. Nor the comments from the players. He just kinda shrugged. And smiled.
