Shero still faces the most important part of this season: the finals against high-scoring Buffalo, which will be the N.H.L.'s first championship series between two expansion teams.

Later, as the fire becomes white hot, the spectral beauty of the scene increases, as down below the whole area...
...final point of interest in the Blue Grass was the performance, or lack of it, by a West Coast invader named Avatar. Jockey Willie Shoemaker says that the horse had his head down in the starting gate and got away poorly, which should explain his lack of punch...
