What an immaculate game that I was lucky enough to see in real life. Full line brawl with goalies and a penalty shot goal. I wish they gave Connor enough min in the 3rd to get his hat trick, but it was good coaching to just leave him be.
No one needs a heinous, useless sack of scabs coach like Granato running the score up and leaving the tinder-box players on the ice for no good reason. Yes, it was his fault that the Bertuzzi incident happened.
Something gross could have happened in this game and intelligent coaching let it escalate exactly as much as needed without excessive nonsense. Well played - as one should expect from actual NHL coaching.
Was Neal not dressed? What's the story there? I didn't see him, at all. Wow, Calgary played awful. Edmonton really wasn't that good, it was just a terrible game for Calgary. They were very fortunate to manage 3 goals with the effort they put in. Someone sitting near me had a hilarious quote - "hopefully they can kill this powerplay and regroup for the next period" as Edmonton had them hemmed in, even on the PK.
I cannot get over what a third world shit show it is getting to leave that arena after a game. It's like the floor of the NYSE clogged with smoking drunks wearing t-shirts in a blizzard who don't know whether they want to go to the casino or flag an Uber. What a cluster of fuck.
