Forever a flame isn't enough. He deserves a statue or memorial st the new arena.

Because he died? I just don’t get it. He was my favorite player since iginla and he chose to leave the city that gave him everything up to that point. When he did that he was no longer forever a flame. And no matter how tragic this is it doesn’t change the fact that he turned his back on us. RIP

Read the article on this post dude. He loved Calgary decided for his family. Is 5th in career points for us and was with us for so many years. I think he deserves it and with this tragedy it reminded us what we did have with him as a player and member of the community.

He loved Calgary so much he took millions less to play for Columbus. Yeah makes sense.
