The Rock players thanked their fans.
Rock goalie, Nick Rose, was the #1 player of the game (he did play well) and was interviewed afterwards. He autographed a ball and gave it to someone in the crowd.
It was Stephan LeBlanc bobblehead night and they were given out to the first 5,000 fans arriving to the game.
It was a fun game. It's always a fun game when we're winning but tonight the Rock kept scoring and Nick Rose kept making great saves.
Looks like a fun way to spend an evening.
