Why Johnny wife wanted out is anyone's speculation. But she must have really hated someone in Calgary. Maybe the ghost of johnny's past. Maybe some of the wives. Maybe some of the players. Maybe some of the exes.
Johnny probably thought the money could convince her to stay. But it didn't. She wanted to start a new life together. anywhere else but Calgary

Yeah, looking back at Johnny’s post season presser, nothing screamed player wanting to get the eff out of Calgary. He truly loved it here.
But it also can’t be easy for the wife to move to a new city on the other side of the continent, no friends, no family. She has to live here more so than her husband does who gets to travel and leave town on fun road trips and be around teammates all the time.
Maybe she was lonely and bored all the time to the point where she couldn’t stand it here. I can see understand why wives have a such huge influence on where their husbands play, happy wife = happy life right?
