Is there any optimism?
“We’re hoping, but he still seems to be in the same boat,” Michael said. “He doesn’t do anything. I don’t know if he still hears voices in his head or not. He probably still does, but he doesn’t express himself, so we don’t know. He doesn’t say anything.”
I mean that's just heartbreaking.

Fun fact: the last time Calgary beat the Leafs at home, Freddie Hamilton scored the game-winning goal and Chad Johnson had a shutout.

Sandy Mccarthy? He would sometimes play in our beer league in the summer. Great guy. He wasn't the greatest player in the NHL. And we soon realized how hard it was to play in the NHL. He completely dominated us. Couldn't get the puck off of him if you tried. And he was probably going at 10%.Fun times.

Fred Modin - acquired and talked up by the former GM trying to recreate TB magic, in his only trade that year on deadline day. Woefully out of shape, Modin lasted 4 games.
Eric Godard - the last true heavyweight champion the Flames had

Lane MacDonald. LW. Third-round Flames pick in 1985.
Just because it would've choice to have him on a line with then-late prime RW Lanny McDonald.

How about one time Flame Akim Aliu? While not revealing all these horrible things that happened to him 10 years ago, what does he do in his day to day life?

Memories took me back to Flames first round pick in 1986, George Pelawa. He was a Beminjii high school hockey standout who was killed months later in a car accident.

From the article above....
George Dale Pelawa, six foot three and 245 pounds, had been approaching Paul Bunyan's dimensions, literally and figuratively. The broad-shouldered teen was threatening the mythical lumberjack's poster-boy status in these parts.

The gentle giant
Remembering George Pelawa (1968-1986)
Quote:
George graduated at 6-3 and 240 pounds.
He had the size, power and speed that scouts lauded over, especially in the era of the NHL when those traits paid big dividends on the ice. It was the reason the Calgary Flames took him in the first round of the draft. .
“Size, power and a heavy shot,” Meyer said to describe his linemate. “He wouldn’t dangle guys. He would just go around them. And in the corners, I’d watch guys sidestep him when they knew he was behind them. They had no interest going into the corner with him. But he was never a dirty player. He was just determined not to let anybody stop him.”
Pelawa’s athletic prowess extended far beyond the hockey rink. As a lefthanded hitter he wreaked havoc on pitchers, and as a linebacker and running back, his size and speed transferred to the gridiron and drew the attention of Division I football programs.
“They couldn’t catch him on the football field either,” said Meyer. “And if they did, he’d just run over them.”
But hockey was his love, and it was his best sport.

Quote:
Mike Amble was a Bantam teammate of George.
“He played center with me and when he wasn’t playing center he would play D,” said Amble. “We wanted him on the ice as much as
possible.”
Amble didn’t play in high school, but remembers witnessing the combination of skill and speed that George possessed.
“He always had those big Jofa skates,” he recalled. “At the beginning of his junior year he really started to roll and people recognized and said, hey I think we have something here.”
Amble described George as a “gentle giant” who would visit the elementary school and flex his biceps.
“The kids would grab onto his big arms and hang off them,” he said.
