While there I could hold it together until the George Canyon rendition of Johnny B. Goode... then the floodgates opened.

As an aside, the guy flying the unauthorized drone...c'mon man?!

I have never enjoyed George Canyon, in fact he typically makes me mute the TV.
But that rendition of Johnny B Goode was spectacular. Not a song I ever thought could be transformed in that way. They should sell a digital version for charity.

Hats off George.

Same, not at all how the audio was live. Not sure what's wrong I'd assume they're just using the Live VoD from Youtube

They did a really good job with this. Hats off to the Flames and our awesome fans for showing this support. Backs struggling really crushed me.

John and Matthew, RIP.

That was pretty damn impressive to just come up with in a hotel room with little to no notice.....hard to listen to at the same time.

Hard stuff but the Blue Jackets and Flames have really stepped up to the plate here.

I don't know how to link Instagram but the incredibly talented Leah Hennel posted some wonderful photos.

I was about to turn it off when the song started playing. I was satisfied with the vigil and didn't need a cheesy country song to end it. Then the lyrics caught me. So beautiful and sad.

The Canadian Press has a nice photo gallery as well.

The uploader took down the YT video. All the videos on the Flames site you can't hear a thing. Is there an upload somewhere we can watch for those of us who missed it?

A week later and still heartbroken over all of this. Damn...

FlamesTV here. We're aware the audio isn't the best (although we are actively working to retouch it), but I've heard a few people - yourself included - say things like "can't hear a thing" and I want to know more about what you mean. I assume you're not referring to volume?

I guess a better way to say is that the sound is so faint, even with my volume cranked up, I can barely hear. Very very faint volume when the guys are speaking on the podium. ex: Robert Hayes' speech is just a crackle. If I put my sound on max I can just barely kind of hear Backlund.

Monahan was there but understandably didn't speak.

Have to feel for Guds too. "I wouldn't let John out of my bear hug until he told me he loves me".

Thank you. That is bizarre. I've heard a few people say the same as you, but most are able to hear just fine. We'll continue to work on this.

I just played a few of the videos on both Youtube and calgaryflames.com and the audio is just fine.

Gudbranson is a beast. I bet most mortals would be screaming "I love you" within seconds.

I like hearing about the Gudbranson and Johnny friendship. They seem like a comedic odd couple, just going by the stories Gudbranson told.

So did you turn your computer off and on again or did the Flames turn their server off and on again?
