Foo was quite a coup for the Flames to sign. It took Johnny flexing his US College cred to help close the deal. Players on the team were excited about the possibilities, and that was even knowing that he was a year away, as he had to learn the pro game and prove that he could play at this pace.
Every year other teams have these guys that come flying out of seemingly nowhere, and it takes the whole team to the next level. No one expected the Bruins to be as good as they were last year, but they gave a couple of young guys all the chances they could, and it paid off.
It's a very Calgary thing to let a player get crushed with fourth line duty, till they prove themselves. Some players are just suited for a top six role.
Nothing will impress me more than if Peters makes a legitimate threat out of someone like Foo or Magniapane.
