They were playing the Colorado. Toronto is in the eastern division and Colorado is in the western division. Going into tonight's game, Colorado had already secured a playoff spot (they were in second place in the western division with 9 wins/4 losses). Toronto was battling for a playoff spot. They were in first place with 7 wins/6 losses but Rochester, Georgia and Buffalo were right behind them with 7 wins/7 losses and New England has 6 wins/7 losses. After tomorrow night's game, the Rock will have just four games left (including one home game).
I watched the Rock players warm up.
Tomorrow is Gord's birthday and I had surprised him and invited some of his closest and oldest friends to tonight's game. Their gifts included a sweatshirt with his book cover and a lottery ticket
