Good.

Now Vernon, a wack of Team Canada women's players and Fleury should get better looks.

Its actually not Lanny MacDonald but rather just his mustache. The rest of Lanny is just along for the ride.

Wow I totally did not know that, just assumed he was until I read these comments. How on earth is that possible?

If this the the catalyst to get him in, then great two wins for two good guys in one.

Congrats to Lanny. All-time favourite Flame. Will salute him tonight by downing a Tamarack Ale during the game.

I've had my issues with Lanny playing against his kid and with him coaching the team but the man would never say no to stop and give a kid an autograph. I'll always respect him for that.

Whenever we were tapped to go on the ice the rest of the bench would shout:

"And tell em Lanny sent ya!!!"

Good times.

Default I heard an interview with Mccowen Sportsnet today

I didn't know it was our Lanny til now.
Wasn't impressed at all - pre old school mgmt style
I think I now understand why he was never given serious Flames mgmt position.
I loved Lanny on the flames, the cup was surreal, we dodged a bullet though.

Lanny's been on the board of directors for years. Vernon isn't going to be any less screwed by the Hall tomorrow than he was yesterday.
