Most people, if they’re lucky, have had to choose between two things they loved, or two things they wanted, but could only have one. It happens, it’s a sign of a good life.
I’m not going to fault the player if he goes, but it seems like some are ready to blow a gasket.
It’s just hockey.

In the event Johnny chooses to play closer to home I really hope fans cut him some slack and don't turn on him as this isn't Tom Erixon or Adam Fox we are talking about. He came to Calgary, has been an all-time great Flame and by all accounts has enjoyed his time being a Flame and playing in this city. I'm sure this decision is one that has not been easy on him at all and whatever decisions he makes will be done in the best interests of himself and his family and we should respect that.
