Calgary Wranglers get great fan turnout in first home playoff game

With there being no Calgary Flames playoff hockey this year, many fans poured into the Saddledome to watch the Calgary Wranglers tonight. After sweeping the Tucson Roadrunners on the road in a best-of-three series last weekend, the Wranglers had their first home playoff game tonight against the Coachella Valley Firebirds. The Wranglers were able to pull out a 4-1 victory to give themselves a 1-0 series lead and a perfect 3-0 record to begin their postseason run. During the regular season, crowds like tonight's are a rarity for the Wranglers, who share a home building with both the Flames and Calgary Hitmen.
