I suspect his wife makes him live in our fine city.
Kelly is a Flames season ticket holder, and they're the closest thing he has to a favourite team in the NHL. So, no you're wrong.

I also hope Stajan gets bumped back down to the 4th line so that a younger, more talented player can join the czech mates line.
People really need to get rid of the blind hate they have for Stajan. He may not have been the best player in year's past, but the past has zero to do with now, and this year so far he has proven himself capable of playing with them...

based on his previous play, i will not believe the past has zero to do with now.

I don't think this is right. While I expect that Hrudey is more of a "fan" of the Flames than of most other NHL teams, he has been rather explicit in the past about his love for the Oilers. It is a fact that he grew up an Oilers fan, and it is a fact that he is still an Oilers fan, and has admitted as much in public on a few occasions.

Sorry for bumping an old thread. Found this article interesting.

@jedli ex #Flames F Roman Cervenka talked to czech web idnes.cz about his NHL time. Interesting for all people in Calgary. "Flames promised me something to sign with them and the reality was completely different.

Maybe if he was a center he would have had a better chance.

Asked to be traded? That's perseverance! How long before he went that route? One month?

After the lockout and him not being in great game shape at the start (not his fault, but alas...), I think all bets were off.

Why was he wearing a different colored jersey than everyone else during practices?

Pretty classless move by the Flames.

Ummm we gave him every opportunity to star. He played on the 2nd line, he had pp time. He just wasn't very good, and couldn't play center! That's Feaster's fault though.

There is a reason he is no longer in the NHL.

The blood clot and injury were the biggest issues IMO. Once the season started he just wasn't in NHL game shape and that led to the issues.

Which part, the trading thing? Who knows, a bad translator version of half the story isn't much to get up in arms about.

Basically:
Was told there would be a bigger opportunity
Wasn't given a big enough chance
Was judged after only a few games
Asked for trade, Flames declined
Didn't do line practices (which seems strange) and had to wear a different colour jersey (injury, most likely)

Nothing all that interesting.
