I heard the guy was being a buzz-kill. Someone mentioned on Twitter that someone may have thrown a can of beer on the ice.

I was there in my seats, which for me has been very infrequent over the past 2 years. I am very fortunate that my seats are quite close to the action and it was a night of blurring speed. MacKinnon can flat out fly as well.

I believe the announcer was referencing items other than hats. There was at least 1 jersey that was thrown (didn’t get to the ice) and an idiot threw a beer.

Had my arm around my wife and was told to stop - NO PDA. LOL, WTF? We weren't getting "cozy" - just had my arm around the top/back of her chair. I have done more in a library.

Sigh. Point at least.
Still a loss. We keep losing we will catch up to the flames soon.

No push back in the third. Once again they lose to the more desperate team.

Overtime lacked intensity. Looks like they were playing for the skills contest.

Agree, they were outplayed badly for big parts of that game.

I'll still take the point, and on to the next one.

Come on Oilers I just offered my brown paper bags up to the boys on the Flames thread. Don’t make me have to pull them off the market and ask for them back.

I like how Neal doesn't really celebrate after he scores. Its like he recognizes that his success is largely the result of work by the others.
