It would be nice if once we fell ass backwards into a Connor Bedard or Shane Wright level of player.
Seeing Makar and McDrai absolutely light up the playoffs makes me sad. I love Johnny, but he's not those guys. The blown call last night left such a bad taste in my mouth; I'm really understanding a lot of the posters now who are saying they are taking a break or leaving the NHL product for good. Iginla was my all-time favorite player, and I never "took him for granted" but I guess I should have enjoyed his dominance more.
The cost to go to a game is insane, and there are other entertainment products in Calgary. Cavalry is tons of fun, and Canada's national team is soaring right now. I don't know, I'm just really disappointed how last night went down. This series should be going to Edmonton 3-2 right now.

I don't put Shane Wright in this category. Nice player, but not a generational type of talent, whereas Bedard has the makings of something special.
