First ME thread of the year just hits different after a 3 goal comeback and winning in OT
Flames stuck with it and beat the Canucks 6-5
Zary's move in OT was beautiful and Pospisil was hauling ass to get the lane open. Great finish to a great game
Best wishes to Rooney, it was a scary scene and I hope it wasn't as severe as it looked
Next Game: October 12 vs Philadelphia @ 8:00 PM MDT

Over the years I have noticed that a scary injury can take one or both teams out of the game for an extended period of time. This happens at all levels of hockey, but is generally more pronounced at lower levels of hockey. While both teams looked sloppy, the Flames and Canucks looked pretty balanced until Rooney’s injury and then the Flames looked out of it for the rest of the first.
It’s a bit weird for me as it’s currently around 1pm reading and typing this but I must say that was one way to start a season and well worth waking up for in the morning! I thought it was over at 4-1 after the first but what a comeback and hockey is definitely back! No broadcast for the next game unfortunately but I’ll be watching the Battle of Alberta and honestly can’t wait to come watch at Christmas after tonight’s game!
