I was at Game 5 Dallas, Game 7 Dallas, Game 1 Edmonton and Game 5 Edmonton.
Both my boys got to experience playoff hockey. My youngest got to experience a Game 7 OT goal from his favorite player. Both boys watched every minute of the playoffs and have been locked in as Flames fans. It was also really nice for me to experience it with them.
Honestly, I found myself more enjoying the experience of being out in a vibrant setting and not caring that they ended up losing. My interactions with Oiler fans at the game were all cordial and fun.
The bonus is extra revenue for Alberta at a time that they need it. The service industry needs it. I even told the Oiler fan next to me that it should go 7 games to maximize revenue and he agreed.
Anyways. This season was great in the sense it got me kids into it and no matter what happens after this season the memories I had cheering with my kids at the dome will live with me forever.
