[Article] Connie and Gelinas transitioning from player to management
Not sure if already posted and I've never started a thread before but I just saw a great article by George Johnson. Thought it would be nice to share:
https://www.nhl.com/flames/news/flam...ts/c-287146690
Talks about Connie's and Gelinas' transition to management. Loved both of these guys as player so it's really nice to hear they are doing well post NHL playing careers.

I like Conroy's attitude towards his job.
Quote:
In Conroy's line of work, too, the anxiety levels have escalated exponentially since retirement.
"More stress? Oh, 100 per cent. No doubt about it. As a player, you can go out and make a hit, score a goal. There's something tangible you can do. Up there?" He points skyward to the press box. "You're hoping. Please win the draw. Please kill the penalty. C'mon guys, we need this powerplay goal in the worst way.
"The wins and losses, for whatever reason … you really let them affect you. In this job, you're always thinking: 'Is there something we can do to help? Is there something the guys need? Is they're something we're not doing right?'
"But there are really, really rewarding times.
"You're there when we drafted Johnny, drafted Sven (Baertschi), drafted Sam Bennett. You want these guys to do so well.
"So when you see Monny score 30 goals. You see (Matthew) Tkachuk come in and contribute in so many facets of the game right away. (Tyler) Parsons win a gold medal. (Jon) Gillies.
"Or take a guy like (Garnet) Hathaway. Undrafted. To see how hard he worked in the American league to reach the NHL, that's exciting.

Great article. Other then Iggy when he played here, there is no Flame I want to see lift the cup more then Conroy. He's have such a big smile on his face, that my head might pop. I hope the team can win one with him on board before he inevitably gets his dream shot at a full-time GM job.
