Was at the cabin for the weekend so missed all the excitement.
Originally was a bit shocked and disheartened at the return, but after reviewing things it was good value. Didn’t remember that BSD’s contract was done after this year and I agree the odds of him resigning here considering the competition and his desire at a #1 slot wass limited. Wish him all the best as he’s a great personality and probably an almost perfect personality for a backup goalie - quirky, funny, great team guy. Good luck BSD, and if the Leafs meet the Coilers in the playoffs, I’ll be pulling hard for your new team, despite my general distaste for the Leafs.
On that note, watched the PVR of the Oilers game not expecting much. Told the wife I’d be back soon as I’d like be fast forwarding a lot... pleasantly surprised with the Flames turning in their best overall effort in quite some time. Agree with the comments that Markstrom had one of his easier shut outs, and nice to see the big guys not only showing up on the scoresheet, but looking good all over the ice.
Coupled with a nice time at the cabin, a good hike at Crescent Falls, and a bit too much booze - was a pretty damn good weekend.
