They said this is the best Calgary Flames team they have ever seen. Even from their playing days. And Johnny is the best player that may have ever put on the jersey.
They also couldnt say enough about Darryl as the best coach in the league.
The crowd wouldnt even boo them at their comments because Hunter was giving everyone the stare (hes awesome by the way, such a great speaker).

nice of them to say that, but I don't believe it's true. the 89 group (not just that season but that season specifically) was better. I love this current iteration, but in 89 the Flames and Habs basically were on a different planet from the rest of the NHL. Flames are an amazing story this season but one of about 6 teams having special seasons
