Pretty easy.
Never played anywhere else than here. Accepted the role later in his career to be one of the guys sitting regularly (IMO, he should have been playing more than Lanny, but I digress) prompting the infamous PJ's wearing in accepting the Cup in 1989.
Hated the Oilers as much as anyone, look at those 80's brawl videos with the Oilers going all the way back to the Corral days. A big frame, not scared of taking on any comes (look at his penalty minute totals) considering the size of most players back when but could still light the lamp. Given that, one can only imagine the social media outrage from those up north these days, if CBC broadcasts had a former Flames doing color for Flames/Oilers games, and, the 1991 playoff series.
Played for Canada in the 88 Olympics here, which was pretty cool. Thought it somewhat cheesy for his very brief 1995 return for a handful of games but he had earned the latitude to make that decision given his years of service prior I guess.
Synonymous with Flames alumini, still active there and willing to help out, and seems to be all around great guy.
