I don't know about that. I think he's just made connections out this way. He's talked about his mental health struggles in the past, and going to Vancouver was part of a turn around for him, so I think some of it is a comfort thing. What the North West offers as far as those things would probably also be a factor though.
Today's #Flames cap snapshot. They're carrying 22 players right now, likely won't make any more cap moves until Thursday (if they play). pic.twitter.com/HeTYyFQtIA
Zach Fucale is a fun story. Looked like he'd never fulfill his potential, couldn't even stick in the AHL ... then at 26, he breaks an NHL record by not allowing a goal in his first 138 minutes of action. Goalies are weird, I guess.
The one game that stands out was the Red Wings-Kings. The shots were 27-2 for the Kings in the 1st period! Nedeljkovic was in net for Detroit and kept the score respectable as the Kings won 4-1. Kempe with a SHG.
Good to see Fleury stick it to his former team, the Bhawks beat the Knights 2-1 in reg time. Fleury made 30 saves in the win and there was only one penalty called in the game.
LOL on the Leafs as they blew a 4-1 lead and lose 5-4 in OT. Rantanen had 4 assists as he assisted on both the GTG and GWG.
It was tight game between the Rangers and Ducks for the first 2 periods. It was 1-1 heading into the 3rd period and then the Rangers skated into high gear. They out shot the Ducks 20-3 and scored 3 goals to win 4-1. The Ducks PK was perfect at 5/5, but, that didn't matter. The Rangers PK was 3/3.
