Would be a poor touch for me if they combined moments for Gudbranson and Johnny.

I don’t think EG should get one but if they do, I hope it’s just during a separate TV timeout.

Oh and if SNET doesn’t show the Johnny tribute live, another major fail in their long list of production failures.

I miss Johnny.
I'm bummed that he's not here because he was so much fun to watch. He's not here anymore though, so no point in focusing on it. Columbus isn't a rival, and they're a bad team.
Play hard and get the two points and move on.

This is gonna be an emotional one. I personally still like Johnny and don’t think he did anything wrong. Yeah he could’ve made a decision sooner instead of stretching it out as long as he did, but I do think he was legitimately torn on what he wanted to do. He’s definitely gonna get booed which I understand, but I wouldn’t boo the guy if I was at the Dome tonight. I loved watching him and appreciate how great of a player he was for the franchise. And I’ll always remember seeing this goal in person:

Sounds like it will be 50/50 in the box tonight for people booing and cheering. Hopefully it’s entertaining.

I get not booing him, but cheering him? He plays for the opposition might as well start cheering the entire Blue Jacket teams.

A tribute for Gudbranson nothing for Johhny would be funny. Hopefully their will be some clever chants, and Flames torch their former teammates.

Reading the latest Francis piece just reminds me of how obstructionist his folks were and what a mamma's boy he is. Booooooo

I didn't care too much about this game before but after watching that clip and thinking back on all the big goals he scored....Johnny sure was something special. Was so cool to watch him break into the league (remember that first goal against the Canucks?) and prove all the doubters wrong. Too bad how it worked out.

This team needs to get on a winning streak. They need to be a lot more consistent in there efforts. Play a full 60 min. Finish off before the break with 3 wins and need to look good doing it and I am not talking about what kind of suit they are wearing.It starts tonight and I sure hope VLADAR is in.

Johnny's journey to the NHL was the most fun I've ever had following a prospect. From the skinny teenager that looks like he should be working at the MacDonald's drive through when he was first drafted to the elite winger he became, it was a blast watching all of it.

Tons of moments that I loved. Seeing him outperform Nuge at the WJC, and all his detractors eat crow, as he was the best American on that team despite his size was a personal favourite memory of mine.

I hope he gets a standing ovation during his tribute. Guy still deserves it with what he's done on the Flames teams over the 8 years he was here.

I will not be thinking of Gaudreau scoring the game 7 OT winner against Dallas, or his hug with Monahan in the tunnel afterwards. I won't care about being able to see the guy who is #9 in all time goals, #5 in all time assists, and #5 in all time points by a Flame. My apathy might even be lower tonight, compared to other games this season.
