Very generous gift by Furnaceface no question. Silent auction going on and he bid and won the Monahan framed pictures. Outstanding.
Locke regaled all with tall tales from CP slopitch camping...if only they were lies.
Found out Drury18 does in fact sit around reading the CBA when not watching AHL or CHL hockey.
Thanks to Puppetguy, Peanut and the others for coming out.
Game tonight, Seanachie tomorrow evening.

Good to match some faces to names of those who I haven't met before. Agreed with Aeneas, Drury18 knows an insane amount of hockey (even follows the Czech league!) and CP slopitch sounds like nothing more than drunken insanity with the odd game every so often.
I believe it was the SW U16 soccer league or some such thing that was having a silent auction. Calgaryboy had on his Monahan jersey and there were a couple of framed Mony pics like they have at the game. I know Petr has made some sacrifices to get to Calgary again and it just seemed right he had to have one of these. The other one can go in my basement and remind me of the fun we had in 2011 and are having this trip too.
For anyone who hasn't met Petr yet, you need to. His passion not just for The Flames, but for life in general is infectious.
Had a good time at the morning skate today too. All the players (except one) signed anything and everything the kids threw at the, and any that were asked were willing to get pics taken with Petr. He's got great shots with fellowCzechs Hudler and Smid and also one with Hartley. I think Hartley will have some more leverage in his contract negotiations now as he can say he has approval from The Greatest Czech Flames Fan™ who told Hartley "You are doing an awesome job with the team."
