That guy was hilarious. For those who weren't there, this guy got up and started listing off every player he didn't like, starting with Brouwer (who didn't fare well in the fan comments tonight) and eventually making it to the goaltending. This led to a complaint about the fact that the Flames haven't drafted and developed a starting goalie since Vernon and that they swapped picks with New Jersey to get Kidd and the Devils took Brodeur with that pick.
Later on, Treliving was telling a story about the Combine last week. He mentioned that they went to the Combine the same way they do every year even though they don't have a first round pick. They still interviewed a bunch of guys. They had an interview set up with Brady Tkachuk. Treliving said he took a break to go to the washroom while the guys were finishing up with the previous interview and he heard odd noises coming from the hallway where Tkachuk was waiting. It turns out, Brady was Facetiming with Matthew and Matthew was telling him all about the Flames guys, including how Conny would talk his ear off.
When he started telling that story, Treliving had the line of the night saying that the guy from earlier had probably already classified Brady as horse ####.

Yes, the reporting structure has Maloney reporting to Treliving.
