I am very interested (but not really) to hear the highly entertaining fiction you have invented for Adam Fox's time in the Flames org, and his trade to Carolina.

Seriously, you should write a fantasy book with all your made-up Treliving stories.

Get them off my TV!
Amen. Can't raise your voice even a decibel for some Tkachuk magic? Gtfo!

We'll group fund your one way plane/bus ticket to Edmonton. Don't come back.

Mentioning the Oilers or another NHL team on a national broadcast does not make someone a homer. Now, if you want Flames homers, turn on Fan 960.

Come on Jiri, I'm sure two teams traded a top prospect just for the heck of it instead of signing him by choice and not because the guy wouldn't sign.

Singh I thought was fantastic as usual. Cassie was her usual self and that isn't a compliment.

Johnny has been fantastic and indeed perhaps the contract is a factor.

Probably a mix of all factors.

I think confidence is always big too. For this group, a good start was crucial.
Mix in the fact that he supposedly had a falling out with his teammates, and not being able to go out at all and blow off steam. Maybe was a pretty crappy time for him.

lol you must not listen to the Fan960 much, they spent the entire spring/summer saying how terrible the Flames were and that Gaudreau, Tkachuk, and 2 firsts wouldn't be enough to get Eichel

Naw, I think it was the Flames plans all along because of a long standing fued between the Fox family and the Edwards family that dates back to the 1800's in England.

Adam Fox's great great grandpa stole a goat and used the water well without permission while residing on the Edward's property.

They decided to draft his great great grandson in the 3rd round and hit a homerun then decided they would trade him.

No worries. When an error is so widespread that it becomes a meme, it's easy to believe that it's true.

I'm just one of the six people left on earth that know who Josh Billings was, and I'd like to see him get more credit, because he was a funny guy.

I thought I read something very recently where Fox basically said the Rangers were always his favorite team, and the only team he was ever going to play for.

You are kidding right? it's well known

He also wouldn't play for Carolina...its part of the reason he fell in the draft even

To be fair, most of that was Will Nault talking over all the relatively sane people in the studio.

He hasn’t said it publicly. Which is what I believe jiri meant… in response to a post looking for a public statement.

Edit: whoooooosh

Still, as far as local radio goes the Fan960 isn't very homerish

Wills is a completely unrelated Topic. I think he is battling it out for the biggest homer in pro sports. I have to turn off the radio when he is on and I cant stand listening to his post game questions.



Honestly I think if a Flames Player came to his kids birthday party while one of the children was eating an ice cream cone and just crushed it in front of them he would put a positive spin on the moment, and say that it was a off moment for the player and he will come back better then ever.

Wills isn't even close to being the biggest homer. Listen to the Bruins radio guys.
