No, they both fit that description too. I was looking for a different one.

Hope he gets a game in soon!

Hopefully Klapka draws in tonight. Don't know if the Flames want a 1st game for a call up to be against the Oilers right now.

Can he Klap for the Wolfman?

Damn....beaten.

His voice reminds of Jagr. Did he say his inspiration was Getzlaf???

My daughter and I got to meet him after a Wranglers game a few weeks back. We've been cheering for him the past 2 years every single game we attend! He is definitely her favorite player (and Wolf too, of course!)

I took a nice photo of him and her that she's had as her phone background since then.

Whenever he first draws in, we will be glued to the TV (she asked me to buy tickets, but Leafs and then Oilers on a Saturday.... ouch).

I figured Klapka would draw in tonight. But not sounding like it.

At first I thought he said Kozlov, as in Viktor (because Vjacheslav was small). I liked Kozlov back in the day as well.

But after listening to it again, I think you are right. Kozlov was probably before his time.

Ruzicka is no small dude either and he's soft as butter. Isn't he like 6'3" and 230lbs? Lots of skill but zero drive or determination.

I have liked what I have seen from Klapka albeit in small doses and at lower competition. But all of the Flames call ups have looked decent to excellent so I hope this trend continues.

Butter has gotten a lot harder these days. Safe to say that Ruzicka is softer than butter. He’s lazy and soft. Not a guy that I want in the lineup.

Well that was a nice surprise
