An 8 yr. old fans message to the Flames
I don't post much but my 8 yr. old niece in Hong Kong wrote this good luck letter to the Flames and I thought it was worth sharing.
Her Dad is from Calgary and they are both huge Flames fans. In fact her Dad flew back to Calgary in 04 just to see a game live and experience the Red mile.

Yeah... I was very impressed that an 8-year old would use a phrase correctly that I spent a few years butchering before being corrected

Not surprised. Hong Kong has international schools where everything taught is in English, and they run pretty strict programs. I have a cousin who grew up in Hong Kong with better English than me.

Yeah, when I was in Croatia a couple of years ago, I met a group from Hong Kong there and it sounded like they were speaking the Queen's "proper" English.
Anyway, that letter is frickin' adorable.

I hope they collect and blow up letters like this and pin them on message boards for the players to see!
