First game at the 'Dome in about 4 years, and what a great one it was! Super fun game from start to finish. Wife's first game ever and she had an absolute blast. Shoutout to Corey Sarich who gave her a wink as we checked out by the pre-game broadcast
. And big shoutout to the couple who won the trip to Vegas on one of the goals during the Cowboys minute promo. The place absolutely erupted when that goal squeaked in. Never thought I'd ever see that happen, but what a great moment that was.
Wonderful to see Huberdeau finally break out. Possibly his best game as a Flames. Was a bit worried at the start when he was bumbling the puck and gave it away his first few shift. Crowd was jeering him ever so slightly. But great to see the place have his back when he scored. His post-game interview was great to see; pure elation and the weight of the world off his shoulders, if only for a night. Great to see the guy have a big night and the team rally around him. Hoping it opens the floodgates a bit for him.
Markstrom was solid all night and was great to see live. Solid rebound control and some really nice kick saves. Safe to say (for now) that he's back to form. The team played with pace and the Canucks looked tired. Happy to see dejected Canuck fans around us once the Flames took control.
