Blair Riley Makes Most of Unofficial Appearance

Friday turned out to be a very eventful night for Blair Riley — considering that, officially, he didn’t even play.

The scrappy journeyman, against the visiting Vancouver Canucks, took two shifts for the Calgary Flames before it was discovered that his name didn’t appear anywhere on the game sheet.

“Bit of a weird one,” said Riley, grinning. “A pretty odd series of events. Entertaining night.”

So after fighting Brandon Prust at 4:33 of the first period, Riley was asked to leave the premises.
