As usual, the fun parts of playoffs are organic, not forced. And, this is family, there are 10-15 other sets of Flames players parents in the crowd with no focus (until Guy Gaudreau enters). Mark Stone had back surgery but my guess is he may come to a game if the Flames get further to watch his brother, but camera won't be on him if he does attend.

Brady and the whole family seem great. Supporters of their brother/son and getting swept up in the atmosphere. Good on Brady for ignoring any conflict, too, with Sens.

Media will jump on this and expect more antics these playoffs and expect Matt to be at Sens game or Brady to be back here next year...but that's when it becomes less organic and more contrived from a media standpoint.

Will be interesting to see what the family does for the next 2 games after tonight; having myself been to Edmonton for Flames games when the Flames weren't cool (2000) through to 2006, Keith's hat will get stolen from him, beer poured on it or his and his families jacket, and him and Brady will be egged on to fight, if they sit among the mouth breathing unwashed masses.

Hopefully the Flames get them a box.
