A recent tradition, going back to about 2007. As a double present for his birthday and Christmas, my younger brothers and I buy our dad Flames tickets. It's become quite the event. Tim Hortons, Princess Auto, Red Lobster, a pub or two, and then finally an NHL hockey game.
As time's gone by, we've seen the Flames play Colombus, San Jose, New Jersey and tonight Nashville, moving further down the bowl with each year. Tonight we were lower bowl, seventh row--and tonight Jarome Iginla scored a rare penalty shot about fifty feet from us. A rare triumph, an enjoyable tradition. How will we top it for next year?
