THG at 10: Talking About the Flames

1. A minnesota sighting already alright

2. Rip johnny

3. I predict an Atlantic division team next maybe a Detroit or Ottawa🤔

4. I'm a Flyers fan, but I pull for Calgary for Wolf. And just generally it would be nice if nice things happened for Canadian teams. Just not at the expense of the Flyers.

5. What I appreciate about Conroy over Treliving is patience, it always felt like Treliving thought the team was further ahead in its development than it was which led to disastrous trades and free agent signings. Conroy has been patient and has been acquiring the best available young pieces as they become available and has brought in cheap vets to teach the young guys to be pros. This sometimes leads to bad contracts like the Sharangovich contract, but it also means you grab a stud of a D-man 6th overall in spite of already having Parekh in the system and consequently trading for Nemec.

6. Wish he woulda spent some time on how bad their trades were.

   Bridge for Tkachuk and sign Frolik who's not playing at all. Tk wanted to sign. Brutal.

7. They just need that number 1 centre next year. If they can draft top 5. There are so many good Centre prospects next year. They basically have their D set for the next decade. And they have so many great B prospects on forward that basically second, third, and forth lines are all set for the future. Just need some pop on that first line. 🤞🤞

8. What Conroy does over the next two seasons probably decides whether or not the Flames start sniffing playoffs again in the near future.

9. Conroy is building the team from the backend out as the rate of maturation for the backend is longer than the frontend. #1 center next draft, and the Flames will have their core, with loads of capital to spare.
   
   😓😓😁😁

10. Always love the subtle cat cameo that happens from time to time.

11. Dang, I was confused by the "THG at 10" Headline…I thought he was going to show Home Movies from around 1977 of The Hockey Boy (THB) at 10 years old playing floor hockey and opening up Christmas Presents and talking about the Calgary Flames.

12. "not a lot of the players still with the org in the top 10" literally only Backlund lol

13. Sharks habs sabres next pls

14. Markstrom turned into a pylon when he joined the Flames. How he's still in the league is baffling.

15. Could have made a 20 second video. "Calgary Flames stink and it seems they will stink for some time. Shame, they weren't far away five years ago."

16. Flames are on the right track

17. Playoff Backlund is CLUTCH. He is surprisingly deft at providing offence unexpededly for a exceptional defensive centre. That season after the series loss to the Oilers, Darryl Sutter was coaching to be fired. And he got Fired. As for Brian Burke he was not the General Manager, he was President of Hockey Ops and interim GM for a few months after he fired Jay Feaster, and then hired Brad Treliving.

18. I became a Flames fan during the 15/16 season after I came over for a working holiday visa. (Australia has bad snowboarding).

    Fell in love with the game, and with the Saddledome. I ended up driving back regularly from Fernie for homestands, I think I went to about 21 games.

    Its been a wild ten years, and although its been disappointing, I love hockey, and don't even follow sport in Australia anymore. RIP Johnny

19. Because you did Pittsburgh then the next day did Philly does that mean Edmonton is tomorrow since you did Calgary today?

20. Burke is also remembered for being GM of the Ducks where he won a cup

21. Hi Gtsy. Thank you

22. Calgary fan here. Personally, I loathe Vancouver. The team, AND their fans. I curse their name at every relevant opportunity, and pray they never see glory as I live and breathe, and for a hundred years beyond.

    Also, the Battle of Alberta playoff run in 2022 was cursed by Keith Tkachuck. His son Matthew scores a hat trick in Game 1, and Keith — his own father — doesn't throw his hat on the ice. The Hockey Gods were very displeased. Calgary hasn't won a playoff game since.

23. Im a Flames Fan and my bestfriend is a Canucks fan, We both agree we hate each others teams, but our hatred for edmonton is stronger 😂

24. Didn't get McKenna 😂😂😂😂
    This rebuild will be 2-3 more long years.

    Depressing.

25. Hands down, the WORST GM ever for the Flames was Treliving. He screwed up so many deals including Goudreau, Tkachuk etc. Then went on to screw things up in Toronto. I think he's GM of a Boston Pizza now, thanks to nepotism. (He's probably screwing that up too!)
