There will be a tribute moment. As much as we criticize the flames, they are overall fairly professionally run organization. That isn’t by chance.
Small market teams have little they can control, but how they act is one of them. If you were a player would you not want to go to a professionally run organization? One that will treat you fairly or more than fair?
I think the players know what went down and why just as much as we do. How the flames react can actually turn into an advantage. A organization that is professional in a great family oriented city. Lots of players want that.
Contrast that with the team up North that just yell McDavid.
