@oldhockeycards For some strange reason, most of the other arenas chose to hang Stanley Cup banners instead. Good on Buffalo for not following the crowd.

@Moeslapshot @ScorchSupremacy @NHL The Flames have had one top-5 pick since 1973. The Canucks have had 11 top-5s over that period.

@FCancun @FriedgeHNIC How exactly did a guy with 25 points in 50 games ruin their draft position?

[Mr. Roonie @mrroonie]

@chopshopboys @VGKHockeyFreak The great fire of Calgary in 1886 caused significant damage to the downtown and changed the building requirements for large buildings. This was the reason that the name was retained.

@TedFran03073128 @henna_yyc If things are so wonderful and net migration is booming, wouldn't it be interesting to understand why the people who are leaving have decided to leave?

[Mr. Roonie @mrroonie]

@fortnitall @FlamesNation Ownership doesn't want a proper rebuild, so the only way to get the high picks they desperately need without teaching young players a losing mentality is for management and coaches to make "questionable" roster/coaching decisions while waiting for the right trades to come along.

[Mr. Roonie @mrroonie]

@nitwitschool @agentofascent You could have saved yourself some typing by just saying that you don’t understand what a modified no-trade clause is.

[Mr. Roonie @mrroonie]

@leerathje @EricFrancis Parekh was on the bench. Danford and Aicheson were the defencemen on the ice when that goal was scored.

@letstalkflames @evil_Jdubs There’s nothing I can do to change it, so I don’t think about it at all.

[Mr. Roonie @mrroonie]

@FlamesForums @FierySharky Except that they weren’t. The Montreal Maroons beat the Victoria Cougars in 1926, the New York Rangers beat the Maroons in 1928, and the Maroons beat the Maple Leafs in 1935, all with the series winning game at the Forum.

[Mr. Roonie @mrroonie]

@CofRedCentral Well, at least you admit that you and the other Flames media wannabes are a bunch of whiners. As far as having any influence on the extension, you’re all delusional. Correlation does not equal causation.

[Mr. Roonie @mrroonie]

@MatchsticksCGY It’s seriously baffling that all you Flames media wannabes think that you had any influence on the extension happening.

[Mr. Roonie @mrroonie]

@RingOfFireCGY What a crock!!! Any whining by the Flames media wannabes and their tiny following had absolutely nothing to do with the deal getting done. Your sense of self importance is highly overrated.

[Mr. Roonie @mrroonie]

@AntiTankAIDrone @davedubbin85 Treliving was the GM for the entire 2022-23 season. Conroy wasn’t named GM until May 23, 2023.

[Mr. Roonie @mrroonie]

@RingOfFireCGY Kadri might score which is the opposite of what a tanking organization would want to do. It was bad enough that they got the single point.

[Mr. Roonie @mrroonie]

@MatchsticksCGY It was announced on January 31st when Farabee joined the team.

[Mr. Roonie @mrroonie]

@JohnnyGiunta_ I couldn’t care less what the uniforms look like. It’s a hockey tournament, not a fashion show.

[Mr. Roonie @mrroonie]

@blanksCyy @Veer976 @CofRedCentral I believe you mean decades (plural) long. Other than a couple of times where someone dropped in their laps in the first round (Monahan and Tkachuk) and a long shot in the 4th round (Gaudreau) who the GM didn’t want to take, the drafting was atrocious since Fletcher left in 1991.

[Mr. Roonie @mrroonie]

@mukmuk0001 Imagine thinking that rebuilds should take less than two years. Just spitballing here, but I wonder if the Ducks starting their rebuild five years before the Flames might have something to do with it.

[Mr. Roonie @mrroonie]

@CraigBaird Minor error, Craig. It’s Fields, plural, not Field.
