It was a great game, got some decent pictures to post up whenever I can find the time. Not a lot of proud Marlie fans tho, my friend and I were easily the loudest pair at the rink, got a nice head nod of approval from Cam Cunning and a few other Heat players took notice of us too, we like to think we gave them a bit of a boost.
But I just have to say, Backlund from all I've heard previous had not really stood out at the AHL level but man oh man was he flying today, taking shots whenever and from where ever he wanted.
In case any other Ontarions were there we were the two younger guys with the "Can you feel the Heat?" sign and the flag, you know the ones who cheered for anything that the Heat did well ( sometimes for what the Marlies didn't do so well)
All in all , good game by the team, and it felt nice to heckle a little back in forth with some Marlie fans. even if heckling for one man in particular just meant giving us the finger.
Side note: Got stopped in the concessions by another Flames fan who was with his girlfriend at the time, he liked the paper name plate I used to cover Phaneufs name up with, that name plate being White of coarse. If you are on here man thanks for the compliment and I hope your picture turned out well, man Flames fans are classy everywhere you meet them.
