Florida man has no idea what he just watched, but plans on celebrating.
That Florida team was so damn good. Bennet is going to get a bag this offseason

A little humble brag that is related to all of this. When I lived in cowtown from 2013 to 2018 I used to get free Flames tickets from suppliers. Damn good seats (or boxes occasionally). Anyway a couple of times I got to sit beside Colin Patterson (a former Cup Winner with Calgary) who worked at the time for one of our suppliers. In Bennets rookie year Colin said that that kid is going to be one of the best players in the league one day. Damned if he did not pick a Conn Smythe winner 10 odd years ago.
Flames completely mismanaged Bennett's development. He never got opportunities in roles that would have helped him succeed. Then they traded him for a second. Tkachuk told them he wouldn't re-sign. Not sure if it was money or also heard that he wanted to be captain and they wouldn't promise it. Treliving fucked the team over. Not necessarily in trading him, but immediately signing Huberdeau and Kadri to huge contracts, and selling Monahan to the habs for a 1st rounder. They'll be stuck in mediocrity for the next decade.
evdog, that is some pretty damn good insight there. I do not disagree with anything you said and feel better informed. It certainly continues to be not easy being a Flames fan. I have the double horse hair shirt in that I also root for the Sask Riders.
Well, I hope the FL team unravels a bit this off-season. They're too damn good.
FL is going to have the usual issue of players trying to cash in. Bennett and the rat probably looking for big pay days. I think Ekblad will need a new contract too.
Ha, my Moms whole side of the family is from Saskatoon.Quote:

4 strong lines vs McDavid and Draisaitl together and then pray the next 3 shifts. Who could have predicted it.
^^^ You forgot the part about the Oilers trotting out a couple of goalies that would struggle to stay on most teams as the backup goalie, let alone a starter.
So, uh, Panthers gonna win the cup again next season? Resigned Bennett, Marchand and Ekblad.
I was hoping Marchand would sign with a Canadian team...or back with the Bruins where he belongs!!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
I couldn’t decide it this deserved its own thread or maybe even go in Bullfighting, but hockey deserves some credit so here goes…BANG!
