I was also going to say LeBlanc.

Now I'm thinking a hybrid of LeBlanc and Dave Franco.

Somewhat serious random question; Do the top 30 or 40 picks get sent every teams hat in anticipation of being drafted by the NHL or does pops have to clean out sportcheks selection the day before.

Watching that first set of questions by him made me think how many burner accounts he has on CP, it would explain that absurd sky is falling negativity around here lol.

One thing I've noticed watching the highlight videos is that the Bison just doesn't smile when he celebrates. Hopefully that was just his way of celebrating being drafted by Calgary


This was who I really wanted...other than the natural fear that comes with drafting a player from Harvard.

All the projected 1st rounders are sent hats.

Leaves a good impression.

Typical Francis to start off and sounding like a D bag asking his question. Matthew handled it well though, kid sounds very well spoken.

"Horowitz" from 1983's Bad Boys (Sean Penn juvenile delinquent drama)

Yeah, seems like he is sincere and driven to take the next step as soon as he is ready. Hearing him talk makes me feel more as ease for sure.

I like Matt before, but I like Coronato even more after the interview.

In the player interviews Oilers asked players what kind of animal they see themselves as?

(he doesn't name the team, but cmon we know)

Seems like a great kid.

And yes, Francis is a tool.

Did he say “####, congratulations welcome to Calgary?”

[ForeverFlameFan]

Happy to get Coronato. Could be worse, could be selecting projected 33rd OA at 10th.

Nah, he reminds me of Michael Imperioli (Christopher Moltisanti). I just love this pick.

[Roof-Daddy]

If this kid was a 3rd rounder or later I'd be worried, but I don't see the 13th overall pick playing 4 years in college.

[Northendzone]

Stunned he was still on the board when the flames picked. Every mock draft I was in he was T5

[djsFlames]

Excited for a "crowned bread" line.

[Hackey]

The interview made me feel slightly better but in reality of course he's going to say he wants to play in Calgary. He just got drafted and is put on the spot. A lot could change in 2-3 years.

It’s embarrassing enough having him in the media for our team, here he’s somewhat representing the franchise?

Extremely unprofessional.
