Would've definitely not say a good portion. There are always guys pushing for someone that doesn't make sense just for the sake of change. Whether it's coach, gm, players etc..

Good portion might be an over statement. Maybe my memory is hazy but it seemed like too many were comfortable with the idea lol.

I'm sure those silver stenciled slogans and red Flames door mats for each stall cost a lot to design and implement.

No raw sewage on the floor would be improvement..
I'm going to pricecheck homedepot today. Let you all know.
Door mats. Foreshadowing.
C for compete. lmfao
Hahahaha new millwork and a light on the ceiling!? WOW! I saw a shelf that holds tape - pretty nifty.
With a few more improvements it might get up to the standards of a standard CHL room. That must have cost about $150k at most.
CHL room?
I'm pretty sure the Millwoods rec center has nicer dressing rooms and I think it was built before the saddledome.

Ma n the Flames are cheap AF. What an embarrassment of a home locker room lol. Even Katz ponied up like 5 million to revamp the Rexall one knowing he would probably get a new building on the way

This is really what I don't get and I understand it's too late now, but how did they never a decent reno to their locker room years ago.
Heck I beat the look they had 40 years ago probably would be more appealing than what it looks like now.
Could've gotten a high school shop class to do it as a project and do a nicer job while giving back to the community lol

I think I seen those in the clearance bin at Homesense.
Fur the record, Homesense has a not-bad pet supply section and at decent prices than say a pet store like Petvalu.

Too bad they didn’t stencil “Commitment” on the wall before Johnny and Chucky left.

Remember when Murray was acquired. The Leaf’s put him through their “best of the best” medical staff, Murray threw subtle shade at the Sens saying he’s finally at a place where they do things properly. Toronto media celebrated that they could rebuild him and celebrated the jab at the Sens.

Tried to get a discussion going regarding this Zadorov interview on the mains, but the thread was instantly deleted (not locked, deleted). I'll say my peace here, I disliked "Big Z", thought he was a head hunter. But slowly I gained a shit load of respect for the guy, despite him being a Flame, heard him in a hot mic moment making sure someone he hit was alright. Saw him on the ice purposely not try to kill guys in vulnerable positions. And now this story comes out where he puts himself on the line as a Russian player with Russian family still in Russia to say he is against the war.
Most interesting tidbit from this interview is that the Russian players in the NHL met to decide how to address the War. They wanted to make a joint statement, but ultimately couldn't decide what statement to make. Bobrovsky initiated the discussions. and the Russian players were split into two camps, those who wanted to release an anti-war statement, and those that wanted to release a "no politics in sports" statement. Ovie lead the no politics in sports camp of course and also Big Z stated they don't agree on their political views. No surprise there. But atleast people can't pretend Ovie is just saying things to protect himself from Putin, nope he supports Putin, there is nothing more to it than that.

I have listened to a lot of Zadorov interviews and he sounds like a very nice guy. I am sure most players are. He was good friends with Yakupov too

Should have had a third category - those who are in love with and worship Putin and everything he does.
If you're in the Edmonton area, G & E Drugs is reknowned for their pet supplies, both in variety, volume and pricing. Don't be fooled by the name. They're practically a warehouse, and they also have a vet centre.
