What an atmosphere at the Dome tonight. This is my sixth season as a full STH, and the first time I'll get to see the playoffs from these seats.
For too many of those six seasons, I've felt like the only person in the building who was cheering, so it was nice at times tonight to just shut up and let the rest of the building carry things. I'll still have no voice tomorrow.
It was crazy how many people stayed not only to the final horn, but through the three stars and Hiller's on ice interview.
I think tonight was the second-loudest I've ever heard the Dome, behind only Game Six against Detroit in 2004.
...And, we're just getting started!
NO BLUE IN THE OF RED!!!

Congrats Flames! That is an outstanding achievement.
Was travelling in the US tonight without data on my phone so had to rely on text updates from my brother in law. So excited for a return to the PLAYOFFS!
Go Flames Go.
Also, not sure if its been mentioned but Johnny backed up his post game on ice interview from a couple weeks ago where he stated that the Flames would make the playoffs for sure!
Ferland's best hockey game. Engelland and Stajan were great. Raymond was fantastic. Hell, everybody was great.
The way they played this game, the way they controlled LA, handled the physical play, and showed incredible poise, I now believe they can actually do some damage in the playoffs (assuming there will be any bodies left to keep winning).
Playoff experience? Gaudreau, Monahan, Ferland, Granlund and Brodie were all fantastic. What a team!
Sitting here in Oz, at my desk (where I watched the game!), shedding a few tears right now and I'm not ashamed to say it! So bloody proud of this team - what an amazing season it's been. Off work in 74 minutes, 75 minutes until the celebratory bender begins!!
I'm in Brisbane on Biz. I'll join you on that bender!
What a game. Much celebration after the dome and walking home from the pub a display of Northern Lights like I've never seen in the middle of the city. Space Jesus was rooting for us all along!

What an emotional night!
I've been awake for 8 hours now, and still got 7 hours of my working day ahead of me.
Thinking back on those last moments in the game and reading all these passionate and happy posts brings me a bit to tears... tears of joy.
I'm calling everybody at work Jiri today! Who cares?! It's our day!
OF RED!!!
