The entire Saddledome exhaled a sigh of relief on Friday morning when TJ Brodie stepped on the ice.
It’s been a nerve-wracking 48 hours for the club, waiting to see if the blueliner was seriously injured or not following an injury scare on Wednesday night.
Brodie blocked a hard slap shot against the Carolina Hurricanes — a near point-blank slap shot from All-Star defenceman Justin Faulk right after the Flames had killed off a penalty in the second period of Wednesday’s 4-1 win.
