Post-Game: Defensive play optional in exhibition tilt with Sharks
Pre-season hockey isn’t often picturesque. It’s usually something to be endured rather than enjoyed. The Calgary Flames’ contest against the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday night at the Saddledome was one of these games. The Flames won ugly, prevailing 6-4 in a fairly clunky 60 minutes of exhibition hockey.
The rundown
The game started poorly for the locals, as Jon Gillies allowed a goal on the first shot he faced: a wrister from the high slot through traffic from Lean Bergmann that made it 1-0 Sharks.
