The Calgary Flames brought Blasy back. It was the worst-kept secret ever, as the NHL revealed its #ReverseRetro Jerseys. Another cash grab media, only this time it works. I always like the old jerseys. The more the Calgary Flames can get their name out, the better in this pandemic year. With the NHL delaying the season's start, the Flames have to remind us that they are still here.
The Flames need a blast from the past for this team. What this team is missing is an Al MacInnis slapshot. Wouldn't it be nice to have a slapshot like this on the powerplay?
How about another blast from the past? Maybe a right-winger with some speed who can score with the best of them. Show me some Swedish cooking!
No, not him! I mean Hakin Loob, the magical right-winger. Besides, I don't think the Swedish Chef can skate, let alone shoot.
The Flames are also looking for a stay home right-defencemen. A Rod Ramage would fit the bill. A player with some offense but who does not look out of place in the defensive zone.
Yes, the Flames need to roll back their hockey lineage. Bring back some grit and some speed. Adding one last ingredient, a top-six forward, and you have the perfect recipe for a playoff-bound team.
