It was a game that had a bit of everything: New players making their debuts and having an immediate impact. Multiple blown leads, comebacks and momentum swings, including a big self-inflicted one by the hometown club. Plenty of nasty, extra-curricular activity including a pair of superstars nearly coming to blows. And goals. Lots and lots of goals.
Yes, Tuesday's tilt between a pair of Central division heavyweights – with first place at stake, no less – more than lived up to its advance billing and gave fans a delicious taste of what a lengthy playoff series between them might be like.
