The Calgary Flames' Comedy of Errors: Golf, Waffles, and Undercover Boss


I have overheard some interesting conversations on the street lately. Let's listen in on a conversation between two people walking by. I know it's eavesdropping, but we only live once!

Bob: Hey, look at that. Is that a new waffle shop being built?


Joe: No, that's just the Calgary Flames waffling on whether or not they are going to trade Hanifin. I wish they would make a decision already. Personally, I'm not too fond of waffles.


Bob: Look at that person running and laughing all the way to the bank. He must be some kind of successful businessman. I wouldn't mind having some of his dough. Let me tell you, that would be nice.


Joe: I think that's Hanifin's or Lindholm's agent. You're right; he's definitely in the right line of work.


Bob: I wonder what kind of education you need to do well in that field.


Joe: I imagine you would need some kind of degree. Counting up to a million takes some learnin'. 


Bob: Look—oh no! Look at that fire on the golf course. Oh, the humanity! That poor golf course."


Joe: Oh, that is just Flames players on the golf course. They're not very good at that either.


Bob: Hey, look at those guys just watching their teammates getting beaten up and not stepping in to help. No team will even give them a chance."


Joe: Yeah, they're Calgary Flames recruits. They have been watching too many Flames games. They should put on Golden Knights games. They might learn a thing or two about hockey.


Bob: Maybe you should apply to become the Calgary Flames hockey coach. You are pretty knowledgeable about what is going on with the Calgary Flames."


Joe: Shh, can you keep a secret? I am actually on Undercover Boss, looking for Flames who actually know how to play hockey. Just taking a break from work.


Oops! It seems like I stumbled upon a potential future episode of Undercover Boss. Let's keep this conversation to ourselves; I wouldn't want to get in trouble with the network!


Happy Halloween! The Calgary Flames have been a horror show this season. I hope the trick-and-treating can stop, or maybe we need to change the script. The only other option is just to laugh and say, "Oh well, that's the Calgary Flames." It's better than crying.
