Was this talked about before? Too bad it didn't happen!

Johnny Gaudreau wanted to light his stick on fire. With due respect to all of the players in Flames history who actually accomplished things at the NHL All-Star Game, we have to take this moment to acknowledge something that didn't happen: Flames rookie Johnny Gaudreau in 2015, getting rebuffed by NHL lawyers after seeking permission to light his stick on fire during the skills competition. "Since we played for the Flames, I want to light it on fire," Gaudreau said at the game. "I think it was a player safety concern. I really don't know exactly why."
