At times like these I hope the flames refer refer to Mr. Bill Pullman in Independence Day...
"Good evening. In less than a day... players from here will join others from Adirondack and Calgary... and you will be launching the greatest push for the playoffs in the history of the team. Team... that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty trade suggestions any more. We will be united in our common interest. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Trade Deadline Day, and the Flames will once again be preparing for the biggest game of the year. Not for McDavid, or Eichel... but for a playoff spot. We're fighting for our chance to play. To play in late April. And should we win the day, the Trade Deadline Day will no longer be known as a TSN panel day... but as the day when the flames declared in one voice, 'We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to play on, we're going to survive.' Today we celebrate our Giordano Day!"
