Love seeing behind the scenes footage, great little montage.

Hahaha, all the Catholic school boys lining up for photos with Kristin Hallett around 2:50.

These behind the scenes vignettes are fun to watch - also reinforces that this group of guys really have each other's back.

i just had the biggest goofy grin during the whole video,

i don't think this gets talked about enough but, this team is surely making hockey fans into flames fans around the world. how can you not cheer for this team to succeed?

Sean Monahan is a legend. Loved this

Total aside: I've been hanging out with this girl who watched the Det and Ott games recently and absolutely adores this team.

Showed her the Bouma and Monahan 'cribs' thing and this, and she is beyond infatuated with this team. She picked up a Campus Crew Flames shirt and is ordering a #23 in ladies. Only this team can hook someone so damn quickly.

4:50 to 4:53. Future face of the franchise right there.

Phanuthier · 03-08-2015, 11:13 PM

WHAT IS KEN KING DOING THERE! MEDDLING!!

Just kidding... funny all those catholic school boys taking pictures with Kristen Hallet.

Cole436 · 03-08-2015, 11:25 PM

The shot of Glencross walking away was a little heartbreaking.

Gaskal · 03-08-2015, 11:43 PM

Loved the footage of Hartley addressing his players after the match.

shogged · 03-08-2015, 11:48 PM

I would kill to see the white boards under the sheets in the war room

squirtle · 03-09-2015, 12:10 AM

Priceless Monahan smile

Jacks · 03-09-2015, 12:35 AM

Monahan sure likes mugging for the camera, not a nervous kid anymore.

Stajan seems like a great veteran to have around the young guys. I didn't love when the Flames re-signed him, and I wondered about trading him this deadline, but this video really shows that he's an important part of this team. I'm happy he's a Flame.

CroFlames · 03-09-2015, 08:53 AM

I love these types of vids. They are such a good opportunity to bring in new fans by getting to know the personalities of the players. It also helps existing fans like us see how our boys act off the ice. I used to think that we should give pro athletes more privacy and that these types of vids were "too much", but not anymore.

In fact, I think pro athletes & clubs OWE the fans these types of videos. We pay their salaries. A pro athlete's job is to be the best he can be on the ice/court/field, and to sell the sport off it. Doing vids like this help sell the sport to new and existing fans alike. I don't get star struck or anything like that when I meet famous people, but we obviously love the Flames as a club. So we are very interested in how the players act and carry themselves who represent our club.

That's why I didn't understand folks who support Marshawn, saying his job is to play football and that's it. NO! His job, just like all pro athletes is to bring the sport to the fans in more ways than one. Him being the best RB in the game actually means he has even more responsibility selling the game and being a good role model to his legion of fans. There is more to it than just being the best on the field.

That being said, I am a huge Marshawn fan. And a Sherman fan

Azhouse · 03-09-2015, 08:59 AM

Good vid. Thanks for posting.

It would be better served without the vapid ditty from "Shred Kelly" though.

Naw man, she's just playing the long game.

She'll pretend to like the Flames just to get in your pants. Then the moment she accomplishes that, BAM! Off goes the Flames shirt and on goes the Burrows jersey.

...this damn world...this damn world...

This is just the state of the world we live in these days. These silly, grubby Burrows women. All over the place.

Thanks for the heads up!

Unless they invite us into their home, we can let them have their privacy there. I love these, as they are all shot 'on the job'. Entertaining fans is a part of their job, and during working hours I love seeing this stuff pop up. No player should be upset at these 'behind the scenes' stuff. It's when the media digs too deep into their life they get upset, and rightly so. But this? I'll take it every day thanks!

Money Baer · 03-09-2015, 10:53 AM

Haha, love the awkward Ferland stare near the end!

dammage79 · 03-09-2015, 11:00 AM

The Kristen Hallett fanboy line up for a picture was quite funny.

Monahan hamming it up for the camera is also funny.

And I think Ferland was doing a dance while staring into the camera awkwardly.

Boo Radley · 03-09-2015, 11:33 AM

I also like Hartley's demeanor at ~3:25 when he calls for Peter Hanlon when the Flames back drop falls.

No one gets a pass. High expectation for the entire organization.
