Something about what it was like playing behind these 3 guys (Dion, Rhett, Robyn) and having to cover their mistakes.
I don't remember exactly but it was a joke of Scott Oak fashion.

Yeah he was bringing up Kipper's great numbers but asked if the numbers would have been even better without having Rhett, Robyn and Dion in front of him.

Great night to be a Flames fan.
Awesome last 10 minutes. Wow.
Dome exploded on all 3 goals.

I noticed Darryl clapped for the speeches but when the Calgary Flames organization was given thanks he did not.
Probably still unhappy with how things ended.
It's not how we wrote it up either, but it was a rough season for him last year. It's too bad he leaned into his ways as much as he did.

Both of these things stood out as moments that could have been very funny if it wasn't for Oake's brutal delivery

Haven't got to watch the ceremony yet. Looking forward to it. The way Kipper has been this week though just shows how appreciative and fond he is of his time in Calgary. Important for the fans to see that given his introverted public persona.
Nazem Kadri is worth every penny. Makes me wonder how things might have been had he accepted the original trade to CGY out of Toronto. Guy plays with so much passion and it's infectious. So happy he's a Flame

Super happy that Darryl was there. He was instrumental in bringing kipper to town and probably his best move as GM. I know things didn’t end well with his tenure but really shows the character and integrity that Darryl has for the game and people. Shows a lot of class to show up to an event representing an organization that has let you go twice.

Darryl is just a very awkward person. I highly doubt he’s upset if is coming to games and came tonight.
He hardly acknowledged Iginla.

It was nice of them to replay the ceremony for those of us that don't have 360. Enjoyed it and cried. I was surprised Sutter was there too, but good for him.

Darryl has been at Wrangler games since being let go. I think he understands the business

Fun night. Flames are back to real 500 on the season now. Backlund has done a nice job as captain helping keep some guys focused through all the noise.
Great to see all the Kiprusoff stuff, and the team pull out the late win.

I think there were so many pissed away opportunities especially in OT, that it was a harder season to feel good about than this one.
It was also a more veteran laden team with less hope and excitement around it.
Add in two kids getting sub optimal treatment and.. yeah.
