Johnny was electrifying - the kind of player that got you out of your seat almost every night. He had an infectious desire to win and carried the torch for the team after the Iginla years. It's so tragic that the world lost such a captivating figure, but even more sad that his family is left to grieve.
I was a season ticket holder for most of his tenure and it was truly a please watching #13. I honestly can't make sense of this tragedy, but thankful for all the memories he gave the C of Red. When the time is right, it would be a tremendous gesture for the team to honor him and let his family know the impact he had on the Flames and the community as a whole. He grew up in Calgary and as fans we were so fortunate to be a small piece in his story.
As the thread title says, thank you #13.
