This Guy. This is the Guy.

Look at ol' Craig Conroy, sporting the new Calgary Flames retro jersey. (Looks cool.) He met that other dude* 5 minutes before this picture was taken and already they're best friends. Then Craig took everyone to a bar and paid for the first round of drinks before offering to drive that night. Then Dion Phaneuf tried to act like a tough guy to some oil worker so Craig had to step in and smooth things over by letting the guy win at darts (or shuffleboard, I don't know what the hell Canadians do at bars). Then he woke up early the next morning to coach his daughter's soccer team. What a guy, I'll tell ya.

*The other dude looks like the Sloth victim from Seven, only he didn't suffer irreparable brain damage and ended up working for the Flames. Why is he wearing a helmet?

Only a matter of time before Aki Berg attempts his comback with the Bakersfield Condors!

I hear he’s actually played at a decent Finnish Elite League level for a change in the preseason, so that’s one step towards a North American comeback ;)

It is, indeed. #24, (co-)captain’s C, grin you want to punch off his face. Where’s Dave Semenko when you need him?

Here’s something totally off topic, but good for comic relief
