A city deprived of playoff hockey for six years came alive as the C of Red turned up in full force on Sunday night. Let's do it all over again Calgary!
Having been to the Kings/Flames game when the boys clinched their playoff spot, I thought I was pretty prepared for the atmosphere going into the first home playoff game in six years –my first ever.
I was wrong.
Honestly, I don’t think I’ve seen so much red before, nor have I high-fived so many complete randoms.
It all started with a beautiful day in Calgary and a pre-game tailgate complete with food trucks, face painting, beer gardens, and the Budweiser Big Rig – a Stampede staple.
