The most exciting single Flames goal ever for my money.

I remember when we drafted Johnny and, like everyone else, I immediately went "who?". And then the highlights of him started flowing in and I would lurk CP and just watch clip after clip of this undersized player doing amazing things. I knew then that he was special.

My absolute favourite player of all time. Happy birthday Johnny, we miss you.

Happy heavenly birthday Johnny. Gone way too soon.

Mony-Johnny was the best time I have ever had as a flames fan. Johnny the most skilled player I ever got to watch in red (yes, more than Iginla in pure skill, IMO.)

RIP.

Jesus. Can we keep that debate out of this thread please?

Too painful still. It also happens to be the same day as my daughter’s birthday.
