Wow - am I glad I eventually decided to take my chance to see the NHL in
Britain or what !

This certainly couldn't be described as a pre-season friendly, as both sides
were going for it flat out. Andy Van Hellemond seemed to be trying to impose
himself on the game from the start as the teams both having five players on
the ice became a rarity, but that didn't detact too much from the spectacle.

From a personal point of view it was disappointing not to get the chance to
see Ed Belfour, Stu Grimson, Stephane Matteau and Dirk Graham for the
Blackhawks and Jean-Jacques Daigneault for the Canadiens who were all
listed, but didn't play for one reason or another, and to only see Patrick
Roy for 4 penalty shots and seven minutes of Chris Chelios was a shame as
well, but then I suppose the youngsters are fighting for a place in the
team and need to be tried out.

Hopefully the detailed box score above will tell most of the story of the
game - here's to next year and more NHL games in the UK.
