June 25th my sister lost her battle w/ depression, she took her own life.
She was the most caring person I’ve ever known, & the best sister anyone could ask for.
Check on the people in your life. You never know what someone is going through. ❤️
I have never seen a ceremonial puck drop guest get boo’d until tonight when the
#Flames
introduced Mayor Jyoti Gondek for South Asian celebration night.
The memorial for Johnny Gaudreau outside the Saddledome continues to grow.
Calgary loved Johnny & the Gaudreau’s no matter how his time in the city ended.

Is Matthew Tkachuk about to have the quietest 100 point season in the league?
No hype whatsoever for a 24 year old crushing his previous career highs.

It always stood out how much Johnny Gaudreau loved his family.
It was such a big deal when they came to Calgary, his Dad forever being Johnny’s coach, even the move to Columbus, all about his family.
Thinking of them today & just hoping they get through this. ❤️
A lot of bullshit on this app happens when rumours start flying around..
Good on

@FriedgeHNIC
@reporterchris
& other insiders for letting this process happen as it should.
Glad they showed it’s not about being 1st on a day like today.
While all this news for
#Flames
fans can be a frustrating I'll say this:
As good as 13,19,28,55,11 etc have been it's never turned into more then an appearance in RD 2.
If I'm a fan of this team I want players who want to be here.
Immediate complaints from the fan base about the return for a pending UFA at 31 coming off a career year that includes no extension 🤷♂️

want to get younger, get a 25 year old whose scored 24 goals & another draft asset to use this this week.

if he'd be interested in a long term deal in CGY:
"I'd be very open, I love the city, love the locker room, managements great. Calgary's my 2nd home so I'd be definitely interested in signing a long term deal."

"I saw it coming a little bit with Johnny, had a feeling it could happen that he was gonna walk, even though he said he wanted to come back. Over the years you felt that he missed playing in the us so I had a feeling he could go"
My favorite quote from our chat with Brad Treliving today?
"You know it's a slow news day when people are worried about where I'm going to dinner. I hope that's the last time. You guys need hobbies. I'm going to buy you a book or something to read."

Cannot believe the amount of people in Calgary with the “it’s too hot outside” takes already.
We get like 3 months of nice weather and I won’t have it ruined by you Negative Nancys
How exactly does the league justify this type of punishment for the Sens and Devils..
But they let the Blackhawks walk away with a fine for how they handled the Kyle Beach situation??
Ottawa will have to forfeit a first-round pick in one of the next three drafts (its choice) for its role in the aborted 2022 trade of Evgeni Dadonov from Vegas to Anaheim
I’m incredibly excited about the new arena news.
If you’re mad about it or disagree with it that’s fine.
I’m just ready for all this talk to finally be over & for Calgary to have a world class arena that it deserves! 🔥
#Flames
I hope everyone who listens to the broadcasts also realizes the time and prep work Pat puts into each and every game not just playoffs.
From prepping his own show, to prepping for Pinder&Steinberg, doing warmup & postgame plus hosting Overtime.
He’s no doubt one of the best.

Radio is in the books.
Pretty proud of the group we have on and off the air and it’s a privilege to work with them. Here comes one of the most fascinating offseasons in a long time.
Can’t help but think having Conroy & Iggy around helped convince Kipper to come back for his jersey retirement.
This is something the
#Flames
have wanted to do for awhile now.
The New Jersey Devils actually have 2 here at the Dome tonight including former NHL goalie & Director of Goaltending Development Scott Clemmensen. Make of that what you will. 👀
#Flames
If you’re interested in such things scouts listed from the following teams at the Dome tonight:
NYR, MTL, VGK, ARZ, TBL, MIN, NJD, OTT, NSH, DAL, & CBJ.

HC Darryl Sutter about his teams penalty kill tonight:
“Those 10 guys we used on the 4 minute & other parts of the game, did a hell of a job.”

Tucson. They are now up 1-0 over

seed Coachella Valley with a big win tonight at the Dome.
Wolf. Klapka. The CGY D all excellent tonight. Game 2 is Sunday!
The entire Brad Treliving era in Calgary is also a giant reminder to NOT hand out a bunch of NMC/NTC.
It sewers your team when the player eventually wants out.
#Flames
Yes the
#Stamps
lost. But please stop with this fire Dickenson non sense.
You know how many teams in this league would kill to have him coach their team for the next 10 years??
#CFL
Lots to like early on from this
#Flames
draft.
No mention of words like size, nastiness, or truculence.
Just skill, upside, & talent. Exactly what this team needs.
Thoughts on Z trade:
Thought the return might get higher given interested teams but alas let’s remember this is a 3RD PAIRING D & the lowest value UFA.
(Despite what his agent says)
You can’t have it both ways.
People wanted UFAs gone. Then get upset at the return.
Just a general appreciation post for our guy

"I saw the trade, my 1st thought was it was a really good trade. it looks that way. It's been a roller coaster of a summer for

fans but I really do believe we have a better team then we had last year"
I hate to say it but it’s time for the

to try something new at QB.
This offence is down right brutal to watch most weeks.

hockey and you just take that Gaudreau pass for granted because he does it so often, but that is an all world play that he just makes in his sleep.

"Safe, Steady in his own zone. Not flashy."
"Phenomenal person off the ice. Humble"

Another goal for Matt Coronato. His 6th in the AHL.
If he gets the puck in front of the net it feels like it’s going in.
Have to imagine the re-call back to the

No one deserves the accolades more than Pat.

To commemorate this momentous achievement some members of the

decided to say congrats to Pat for reaching this milestone!
For the full celebrations take a listen here⤵
And I’m sure the
#Flames
would welcome the largest possible return for him?
Zadorov has no trade protection so why does it matter where he wants to go?
Honestly sad it had to come to this. Should’ve been an easy reunion in Calgary.
But good on Conroy keeping his word about people wanting to be in Calgary.
#Flames
easily could’ve (probably did) offered this much or more. Two way street.
Full trade, per sources:
To
#FlaPanthers
:
Matthew Tkachuk (extension in place)
To

:
Jonathan Huberdeau, MacKenzie Weegar, Cole Schwindt and a 1st round pick.
