What an awesome night of nostalgia, a great entertaining hockey game, and getting to see so many former Flames' players and alumni all evening long. Say what you will about the on-ice performance and whatnot, but the Flames are a pretty classy organization from top to bottom and it really showed. So great to see so many familiar faces and hear so many great tales about Kipper's time here. I wish his teams could have won more, but hard not to like all the individuals that made up his teammates during that time.
Dude is very clearly a legend around these parts and it was so cool to see him and his family soak it all in and for him to let down his walls and allow the fans to get a glimpse of the person he really is. Easily the most fun and nostalgic "legends" night I've seen personally from this team.
Very glad the team won this one is such an entertaining fashion. And how amazing was it to see Iggy sitting up with management during the 3rd. I'm rooting so hard for Conroy to get this team where we all want it to be in the future. Awesome to see the fan's reaction when D. Sutter was announced, glad to see his legacy is still intact with the city.
Just a 10/10 night overall and one I won't forget anytime soon.
