I live in Airdrie so I hardly ever get the chance and for once I didn't have to wait on my girlfriend as she met me there. Was section 104 row 15. I guess that's where the players families sit. A few hotties for wives and girlfriends.

Didn't realize how big Jones is, easily second biggest after McGratton. Gio didn't warm up for some reason and Glencross shot about three pucks over the boards for kids. I flinched when one of Hudlers shots missed the net, I think he noticed as he took about 5 shots right after and only one hit the net.

Tanguays goal was unreal, second only to the place going crazy after the last two goals. That hit Ferland made was also a highlight. Something about the last ten minutes of the second period is starting to scare the #### out of me. Seems like we get outplayed badly every game then.

Finished it off with my boss giving me a signed and framed Byron action shot they gave her. Pretty sweet, going on my wall.

Small world, I was sitting in your row. Great seats!

At the game lastnight i noticed barley any people left. So even the negative nancy's are getting it. You do not give up watching this team.
There was this overwelming vibe that they will tie it up and even if they didn't they were going to attack until the final second.
When Wideman scored you could feel the Flames were not satisfied with just the 1 point.
That set play that Hartley likely drew up at the start of OT was brilliant.
The Avs never recovered after that.

Who'd ever had thought it would be awesome to see Jarome lose eh.

Strangely enough, all the people in my section that left early where Avs fans (when they still had the lead).

As others have said, with 5 minutes left in the game, there was little doubt in my mind that we would tie it up. Can't say I've felt the same way about previous Flames teams.

Yeah. But we may have landed the 2nd or 3rd best player in the draft. Who knows what Jones will be. It's still early, but Monahan could very well be the 2nd best forward in the draft.

It's not impossible for Bennett to be the best forward in his year, too. For drafting 4th and 6th, we really had some amazing fortune in the chips landing where they did.

I noticed that as well, the place was so packed with a minute left to go, past years this wouldn't be the case. Just something about this team and an ability to come back in games, love it!

Went to my first game in 3+ years last night, all of my friends had the day off today so I bought 8 tickets (thanks CP) and had the good fortune of trading/having open seats beside one of the pairs to allow us to all sit together. We *Just* stopped partying, that game was freaking awesome
