This and the coach is rumored to be on his way out. Flames players for sale very soon…
I have Johnny Hockey on my fantasy team he has been a huge disappointment this season.
Calgary coach’s top priority is his hair.
He was a subpar coach in Dallas, nothing has changed. Bob Hartley had nice hair as well, at least he won a Cup.
PS. Typical Bruce Boudreau tactics, repetitive slashing Goudreau’s hands, finally one of the slashes broke his finger.
I agree Iceman-three hacks. I was surprised someone didn’t say that’s enough. How would the Hawks handle 3 or 4 chops on Kaner’s hand? Not sure, but the league needs it’s stars healthy.
