You overestimate Flames fans. We're not much for that type of stuff, it takes a hell of a lot to get our fans to do anything, especially when it comes to spontaneous applause/appreciation for returning players.
Engelland was great for us and it's really special what he's done in Vegas, but you're talking about a fanbase that had Daymond Langkow miraculously return from a near career ending neck injury after missing an entire calendar year to a big whopping "meh".
I was waiting for the huge, extended standing O in that game and unless the broadcast missed it there was nothing.
