Then you look at Monahan who is also the 2nd leading scorer from his draft and you start to see where this team has come from. Picking one of the top 2 player from drafts 2 years apart will do wonders for your team.

Tkachuk, too.

That's awesome!

Ryan Leslie showed him a video of that guy when he was doing the interview during intermission, which Loob seemed to get a kick out of; shows what a great guy Loob was to find out where he was sitting and to sign his jersey.

Pure class by Hakan Loob!

Flames with 4 players in the top 15 for points

I am going to run out of thanks before Gaskal shows up....

The Flames have better players from #104, #6, and #6, than the Oilers have from from 4 #1s.

He pulled ahead on Saturday too, but RNH had 2 points last night to pull back ahead. Hopefully this time will be permanent.

The Flames also now have the 4th leading scorer from the 2013 draft to go along 2nd place Mony.

Crazy good trade from Treliving.

Had the opposite thought (Not about him being a class act, on the same page there).

But those photos are clearly from the pregame (Stadium is far to clean to have just hosted an event). So I saw the photo and thought that he must have been having fun with Ryan acting surprised to have his jersey in the stands. (They also showed the guy wearing #12 leaving right after Hathaways goal).

oh, it could be... Loob just sounded surprised about a guy wearing his jersey in the interview, but it could have happened the way you describe it.

i like my version better though!

I dunno, if that was pre-game there'd be more fans there, not just staff walking the aisles. Looks like there's some game stats on the ticker behind them too.

They start cleaning arenas pretty quick after a game

edit: in fact you can see a bunch of garbage swept into a pile down in the first row at the corner

A player desperately concerned that this year could be a lost year.

I hope Frolik is above that. I hope.
He should see this year as a rare opportunity to achieve greatness. As part of a special team where he has an important role to play.

If you look closely, you'll see a drink cup and box on some seats behind them. you can also see the blocked shots as 16/14, so it has to be after the game.

Nope! He left early to go meet Loob apparently.

He made a thread on r/calgaryflames

"I had to meet them on the other side of the arena and was terrified I'd miss them. I am dum. "

Darren Haynes @DarrenWHaynes
Johnny Gaudreau leads the league in even-strength points (46). Tied for second is Nikita Kucherov and Connor McDavid (43). Gaudreau is tied with Alex Ovechkin and Jeff Skinner for the most even-strength goals (22).

That thread is gold

the first picture has the correct amount of blocks for the game, up on the upper power ring. this photo was definitely after the game.

My Husband only follows the Flames because I do. We have a weird connection where I'm the sports junky and he doesn't care. This year is totally different though. He is totally following everything Flames, listening to the "Fan 960" on the drive to work and home again. After 20 years together we talk hockey and it's been awesome, Thank You Flames. What a strange but wonderful trip it's been this year, please keep it going.

Not sure if mentioned, only skimmed through the thread, but I wanted to give Hathaway a bit of love for that empty net goal. That was not a “gimme” by any means. He had to work hard for that goal and he did a great job. Turned out to be a life saver too.
