Loob was my dad's favourite Flame of all time.

And he used to get so mad when Vernon would wander and (attempt to) play the puck....

Old baby legs out to get the puck, like he could get back into the net quickly or something.

Many stories in the past of how the organization (under several different regimes) would periodically use Loob as a go-to for opinions on Swedish players. Guy's a Forever Flame. It's high time they paid him.

That was great that year at the 'Dome when there was a 'O' on the ring for every Loob tally.

Felt like a long time coming. For anyone that has been a fan of the team since they arrived in Calgary, Loob has to be remembered as one of the all time greatest Flames and just an icon of what this team was. I would bet that he will help this organization improve in the long run.

Love Loob, love the hire. Makes the Flames organization look better over in Europe, too.

How come he resigned his old job - was he just tired of it or was he pushed out? He seemed pretty successful.

Love it. He was my favourite player when I was a kid and it's great to have him back with the Flames.

I wouldn't be surprised if Loob has designs on an NHL management job. I think this is his decision to get back into the League.

Couldn't agree more.

Super happy with this!
