Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
We have seen both home openers. The Marlies won both. In the Marlies home opener they erupted for 4 goals in the 1st to cruise to a 5-3 win (although coming that close after being up 5-0 was concerning). They won a very chippy affair 5-4 in a shootout today in Hamilton.The first 2 periods were riddled with penalties on both sides. In the 3rd period they went for about 12 minutes without a whistle which was amazing and quite exciting. The Marlies did not play that well but were never down by more than 1. They only held one lead in the game, aside from the final one, when they pulled ahead 3-2 early in the 2nd.
It was also interesting being a part of the inaugural game of a new franchise (although this did exist elsewhere). The fans were very friendly for the most part to visiting fans. It was a 2 hour train ride to get there followed by a 15-20 minute walk. Not something we will be doing that often.
