The Oilers prepare line up for the Championship Game
Let's be honest, sometimes Summer hockey can be a little dull. And, sometimes off-season hodge podge hockey can reflect a selfish side of the game. On Sunday, YHH was served up some very exciting hockey that made the 90 degree weather outside seem cool.
In the Championship game of the Hometown Hockey Summer Classic, the Flames outlasted the Oilers 6-4 in a dynamite back and forth game for the title. Prior to the game, teams were introduced individually to smoke and lasers. A full national anthem with a color guard was presented and Canadien mounties escorted the championship trophy onto the ice before face-off.
We still aren't sure was more entertaining, the details around the game, or the game itself. The players lived up to their of the bargain. They moved the puck to space and made good decisions with the puck. The Oilers made the most of their opportunities scoring 3 goals in the first two periods, all on juicy rebound goals. After 2, they lead the Flames 3-2.
