Flames Captain Mikael Backlund has a nice ring to it
edit I'm always like 3 seconds late ^
Indeed, especially as an ambassador for the ALS Society of Alberta."Our new captain of the Calgary Flames is hoping to offer a message to the Snow family?"
That could work. Getting it addressed but also going the extra mile to quickly bury it and focus on something so much more near and dear.
Every single reporter so far has asked: what does it mean to you. And Backlund's response, "Yeah means a lot to me." Like 10 times already.
setting up the play?You expect good questions from sports reporters?
There's about 50 different questions they ask in total throughout the whole year, they are just worded differently sometimes.
News had broken, no point in delaying it.I guess I was wrong. I'm surprised they announced it, but I'm very happy they did.
