What a game 5-4 for the Anaheim Ducks! But I have got to say the Calgary Flames put up an amazing battle on Monday. First and foremost I would like to thank Kids Up Front for giving me the fabulous opportunity to attend the game and I’d like to say it was an adrenaline pumping game just to watch!!
The exhilaration and excitement in the crowd was astonishing! The Saddle-Dome Arena was packed with an immense amount of red jerseys, face paint, posters, and most of all anticipation to see the Flames come out onto the ice and get the game started! Right before the game was about to begin, Calgary’s favourite mascot, Harvey The Hound danced on ice while throwing out multiple Flames merchandise to the fans to get the audience pumped up for the battle! May I say his performance was outstanding, he may have fell once or twice but without a doubt remains our favourite Hound!
After he left was when the audience went insane..because it was game time! The numbers on the jumbo screen were decreasing and in the matter of ten seconds the Flames and Ducks were on the ice. Game Time Boys! We all went insane chanting three words.. “Go Flames Go!” Within the first period the Ducks were up by 3 and the crowd was losing motivation but as soon as my personal favourite Curtis Glencross scored his first goal of his season, the crowd went insane!! Everyone was off their seats, cheering as loud as possible while the flames were bursting out of the arena. From the moment on we were in the game! In the matter of minutes we were tied and the fans were going insane waiting for the Flames to score. Unfortunately there was a turn in events, the Anaheim Ducks scored two goals leaving the score 5-3 in the third period. But we didn’t need to worry the Flames scored another goal leaving the score 5-4. Time was our worst enemy and the Ducks best friend and the final score was 5-4.
I have got to admit that was one tough game, played extremely well by both teams. Hats off to these phenomenal men that played an amazing and entertaining game. Thank you for keeping the hockey spirit alive! Once again I would like to thank Kids Up Front for the tickets and giving me the opportunity to blog about such a fascinating event! 🙂
