He may not have had the impact of someone like Jarome Iginla, but I hope we have the grace to give him a standing ovation tonight. The dude earned every cent of his contract. But more than that—and despite comments made earlier in this thread that players don’t care what fans say—players around the league note these gestures. More importantly, those in the Calgary dressing room note these kinds of gestures. When it’s time to re-sign free argents or time to go after free agents in the off season, it’s these little intangible elements that give you an edge over markets like Vancouver and Toronto. Hockey players want to play for good fans.

I agree with this. The best thing the fans can do to keep as good a light on Calgary as a possible free agent destination.
