Love that he called Ward to thank him for believint in the team when nobody ekse did.


also, this is Gold.

, Conroy admits Hartley does have one glaring weakness.

...“ ice-cream cakes,” said Conroy, with a smile.

“He loves Dairy Queen ice-cream cakes. We talk about a lot of ice cream, milkshakes and Peter’s Drive-In. It’s funny. He’s just like a big kid. I always laugh. He just can’t drive by a Dairy Queen without stopping in.

“After (clinching a playoff spot Thursday), he said ‘I’m going to go home and have a piece of my cake.’ That’s just Bob. He’s funny.”

This and hearing him speak about Ferland really make me happy that Feaster hired him.

This has given me a major craving for a DQ ice cream sandwich.

Thanks for the link. I thought Hartley got a raw deal from Colorado when they were quick to fire him after the team had a slow start following years of coaching them to 96+ point seasons. He's definitely proven he's good with young players and it's great to see him back in the playoffs; how can you not love this story?

On the other hand, it worries me a tiny bit that Burke has brought Nonis along to his last two teams and now he's unemployed again... Please Brian, don't do it.

I'm gonna say it, and get torched for it.

But Francis is starting to grow on me. He is really starting to mature as a reporter. Not just because he has backed the Flames this season......... yeah I guess it's that.

Seriously though, he has really upped his game the last couple seasons.

I'd agree with you that he's improved, but considering his skills over the years, that's really not saying much.

I think a better way to put it from my point of view is that he just might be slightly less annoying now,

I too agree. Somewhere earlier this year I posted something similar as he is less of his opinion and more on fact and research he compiles.
He does quite a bit for the community as well which I was not aware of going into this season.
