The Calgary Flames joined the NHL as the Atlanta Flames in 1972. While the team was in Georgia, they had no interstate rivals like the two Pennsylvania teams, the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Philadelphia Flyers.

Conor Garland doesn’t grab headlines — but season after season, he gives the Vancouver Canucks exactly what they need: consistency, effort, and reliable production.
