She's been filling in for Murray in some capacities lately.

Thought there might some kind of statement.

Rinaldo isn't my favourite player by any means but he's one of my favourite guys to have around on the team. I get the impression that he's very intelligent and a great teammate. And I love that he's donating to this even though he shouldn't have to.

I'd re-sign him.

I was just making a joke.

Nice to see the Flames players stepping up.

The professionalism of AHS in handling the coronavirus outbreak makes me incredibly proud to be Albertan. The way the Calgary Flames are handling it, however, makes me embarrassed to be associated with them.

This makes me re-think my fandom.

I've been trying to give them the benefit of the doubt on this, but the longer it drags on, the harder it is to do. There are a lot of moving pieces in this whole thing, so I don't have a problem with taking their time to get the response right, but there needs to be a response.

There's no way they can avoid putting together a response plan and the longer they let it go before announcing something, the more it looks like they were shamed into it.



Really, all they needed to do was put out an announcement like the Coyotes did this afternoon...



... It doesn't really say anything, but at least lets people know you're doing something and buys you time to work out the details.

Honestly he's so easy to like, hope the org keeps him around after he retires a la McGrattan.

Edit! TJ Brodie has donated $5000!

I have a couple of questions before I get outraged.


1) Will the staff be paid essentially twice for postponed games?
2) Are the staff eligible for anything from govt, like EI or something?
3) How much does it cost the Flames per game for these staffing costs? If its not a huge amount, they should just pay them and avoid the bad PR.

When the games resume, let's put up signs to shame the owners and cheer the players who have donated.
