Such tragic news about Johnny and his brother. I can't imagine what their family is going through.

Heard one of their sisters was getting ready to have her wedding today too. Really tragic for her to lose both her brothers the day before.

Yeah I heard that as well. Just a horrible thing for a family to go through.

RIP Johnny, can't believe it!

Totally shocking, and sad to think it could have been avoided in many ways. It sounds like the driver who hit them was under the influence, and also passing a car on the right hand side.

This hits close to home. It was shocking and emotional seeing the headline. What a senseless tragedy. Hopefully the drunk driver goes to jail for this.

There’s a growing memorial on the west side of the Dome, lots of flowers, some skittles and purple gatorade too.

Social media is trying to organize a parade of red on 17th tonight for Gaudreau, and apparently the Calgary Tower will be red for him tonight.

They are going to shift the memorial over to the grass beside the stairs so people can actually get in the Dome. Crazy how big this memorial is now, almost the entire stair is filled up.

Flames are doing a candlelight vigil outside the Dome at 8 tomorrow evening.

Went by today and was blown away by the memorial.

In construction related news there were 4 pile drivers on site for the new arena and they were digging utilities.

Not sure the Flames are prepared to tank this season, beat Seattle 6-1 and the Oilers 6-1 and 6-3 in the split squad games. Outscoring the opponents 18-5 so far haha

Huge screen, huge score….

Let's talk in November. Hard to judge a team made of essentially 2+ teams. I do get warm and fuzzies about the direction of the franchise though.

That is a proper screen. And I did see the fire balls continue!

It's still mid-pack in the NHL in size too. Amazing to think the new one in Vancouver is nearly 2x the size!

Oh for sure, 2.5 preseason games is far from an accurate projection of where the team is. In my years of watching, it seems the better they do in preseason, the worse they do in the season, so we are on pace for the #1 pick currently lol.
