Not much overall excitement, especially due to a very subdued / disinterested Vancouver crowd and lack of rivalry between the two teams
The Heritage Classic was a once in a lifetime experience that I will cherish!! The snowbirds flying over while the Canadian anthem was being sung brought a tear to my eye (which froze quickly). And, the fact that we won,and,the icing on the cake, a shut out for Kipper. I thought it was very well done, the only thing I question, as do quite a few people, why did we also sing the American anthem? The atmosphere in the stands was electric and infectious, so much fun!!! GO FLAMES GO!!
The weather was frightful, but all the fans where delightful, the mood was fantastic the teams were dramatic, the entertainment was engaging the the talent amazing, the volunteers where hustling for such a crowd that was bustling, not a soul was put out to see Kippers' Shut out. What a special day for an outdoor game to play, a true privilege the memories will remain vivid! A special thanks to all that made it happen Calgary should be clapping!
This event was awesome. I was there in person and the crowd was electric. Any outdoor game is worth going to.
This is how hockey was meant to be played. Outdoors in Canada.
