The cure for the Vegas flu? Bring your Mom. -- Flames hold their first Mom's Trip.
After having many Father's Trips in past seasons, the Flames are having their first ever Mom's Trip with the team.
It just happens to coincide with their first trip to Vegas.

That'll keep them on the straight and narrow...unless of course their mom has a problem with gambling or alcohol.

What a sneaky good call by management. However this trip being tame just means that next trip will be double rowdy to make up for it.

@ Cecil ^
Yup, that's pretty much where I was going with that.

Wow, Momma Giordano aged very well.
Hopefully she passes that secret onto her son.

I actually looked for a gamblor gif but couldn't find one. Google image search has gone down the toilet now that they've removed all functionality.

Sadly Giordano's sister (Gio may have more than one sister) passed away tragically in a car accident.

It's a good thing that millionaire hockey players can't get into any mischief in New York, Chicago, Toronto, and/or LA, and that all debauchery only happens in Vegas.

It’s the type of move that should put Brad Treliving in the conversation for GM of the year.
No, not the Mike Smith acquisition or the Mikael Backlund signing.
This move involved coming up with the perfect solution for a problem every team in the league started worrying about once Vegas was brought into the league.
Management types undoubtedly lost sleep wondering how best they could insulate their players from the sort of temptations and titillations Sin City offers up.
The Calgary Flames came up with an idea guaranteed to be copied around the league for years: Invite the moms.
|
Quote:
Let’s face it, of all the things a young man could possibly want in Vegas, it’s quite likely his mother is very last on that list.
“Well planned out,” said a laughing Flames forward Troy Brouwer, unconvinced it was a coincidence the inaugural moms trip happened to be slated for Vegas. “I don’t think so. When I was in Chicago we had a moms trip and they had an absolute blast. I think the moms were actually a little wilder than the dads when we had the dads trip.
“My mom is not a huge drinker so I’m excited to try to pump a few drinks into her tonight and see if she’ll get a little noisy tonight.”
|
Quote:
Although no one believes him, Gulutzan also completely brushed off the obvious insinuation there’s an ulterior motive at play.
“I don’t know exactly who made the call, but I know the moms are thankful for it. A few of them look like they’re ready to go here,” said a chuckling Brouwer, who will draw into the lineup for the first time since fracturing his cheek a week-and-a-half ago.
“I think Burkie (hockey president Brian Burke) was actually against it. He’s old school.”
Burke at first seemed to be living by the ol’ what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas credo before admitting, “Tree’s idea.”

Maybe the moms can make sure their sons are ready to play. Gulutzan cant seem to manage it so maybe its time to pass that torch.

I'd be willing to sign some assistant mom coaches.
Maybe one of them will be willing to kick over the occasional garbage can during intermissions when a comeback is needed, or performing monthly stick throws to ensure sustained efforts.
GG can just focus on being the brains while they can be the muscle.
