I remember reading on The Score ticker that the Flames had signed Martin Gelinas, and getting real excited, because it felt we signed a legitimate player and top winger through Free Agency. No one wanted to come to Calgary and the owners didn’t want to pay anybody. I thought Craig Button was a great GM.

Then when we acquired Turek and started 13-2-2, it was exciting because it felt like we turned the corner and were finally going to the playoffs again. Absolutely shook my head when Button handed out the big extension to Turek right then, and predictably we fell off the map. No longer felt highly of Button haha.

Reacquiring McAmmond and reuniting the MCI line. Cause of course Iginla’s 50 goal season had been the highlight of the past decade.

And discovering Calgary Puck. I think I actually found it by cyber searching a junior high crush, who had posted here. As many said, it wasn’t popular to like the Flames back then so to find a community where you could discuss and cheer on the Flames was like discovering a gold mine. This site has become my number one visited site since that time, by a country mile.
