For once we didn’t have to hear the cannons in Nationwide Arena go off, which is a treat because nothing about hearing those cannons repeatedly is an enjoyable experience.
Feel of the game
It’s a John Tortorella coached team so you know what that means? Antagonism on-ice during the play, after the whistle, and the inevitable hope that there may be a meltdown leading to the much-wanted and always sought-after Torts vs. The Flames in a hallway sequel. Unfortunately there wasn’t any of that, but it would be safe to say by the end of last night neither team are truly fond of each other.
