He did, but I can’t help, but think there is more to the story.
Did we ever hear the real full story of why Johnny wanted to leave?

Tkachuk and Gaudreau both wanted to be closer to family. Being Canada, away from their families (aside from Brady for Matty) with the border closed for 2 years took it's toll on them. Johnny's dad had a heart attack during the lockdown and he couldn't go visit him. I think the cold got to them too, that's why Tkachuk's trade list were all in the south, aside from St Louis.
I think Tkachuk hated sutter as well, just based on some of his comments to the media in Florida.

Lucic is on the Canadian WHC team (along with Toffoli and Weegar), curious how this works for him. This is Lucic's chance to draw interest for next season, Flames should let him walk and play the young guys next year. Not sure how the big ice will help Lucic, he's definitely lost a step.

^^^I’m guessing this will be related to a donation to the MLCA towards its proposed pump track.

Has anyone been following the progress of the Wranglers? I see they beat Abbostsford and are facing Coachella Valley.

They had a by for the first round, so really this is the third round. The AHL is quite the grind, with some teams potentially going 5 rounds to win it. Glad to see the Wranglers are doing well, especially Wolf. We might need a goaltender if next season is a repeat of this season.

Going to the game tonight! Coachella was pretty good this season so should be a pretty good game.
A few players live in the area so I would be surprised if we didn't see at least one active flame

That Pelletier thing was weird. Next year will be interesting with the new coach. We’ll see if there’s a difference or not

The Oilers are out. If the Flames aren’t going to have success, the next best thing is watching your rival get the boot

I had the Oilers going to the cup final, surprised Vegas handled them so easily.

With the Flames out this year I thought I might cheer for the Oilers, but a couple of obnoxious Oiler fans at work put an end to that.
After Vegas knocked them out, I poured myself a celebration drink knowing I wouldn’t have to listen to them anymore.

That's my issue too. I would root for them, but I know too many Oiler fans that would rub it in, so it ends up more enjoyable to root against them.
