I remember that, it was a pretty classy move on his part.

On behalf of the entire Mighty Ducks organization, I would like to compliment the Calgary Flames fans on the pride, dedication and support they demonstrated toward the Flames and the National Hockey League during our playoff series.
The city of Calgary has one of the best hockey cultures in the League, thanks to the class and passion the fans provide in the Saddledome. I've been a part of both a winning and losing playoff series with Calgary the last two seasons, but one thing was constant: the fans' unwavering love for the Flames.
The Saddledome is one tough building to play in, due to the fans and the Sea of Red.
Yours truly,
Mighty Ducks of Anaheim
Brian P. Burke,
Executive vice-president and general manager
