Calgary Flames vs Vancouver Canucks: Round 1 Playoff Quotables

In the past week and a half, there have been plenty of entertaining words shared between the two teams. From the “Ferklund” mishap to the Calgary Flames and their love for eachother and the C of Red, I’ve rounded up some of the quotes that made me laugh or feel all fuzzy inside.

Quotes were pulled from the Calgary Flames website, or from Twitter/television coverage.

The Funnies

Bob Hartley (First playoff trip for most of Flames roster – April 15), talking about that pharmacy again

Bob Hartley (Youth helps serve up victory in Game 1 win – April 15), because that's exactly how that works

Bob Hartley (Flames never let adversity slow their path to playoffs – April 16), lover of metaphors

“You look at every playoff game – it’s war. We’re not here to make friends, and they’re not there to make friends. I don’t expect to spend time with any of the Canucks players at the Stampede this summer.”

Bob Hartley (Flames top pair ready for physical series versus Vancouver – April 16), too bad, I think Kevin Bieksa and Alexandre Burrows would have a blast

Deryk Engelland (Flames Today – April 18)

#Flames Hartley gem o’ the day: On Engelland facing 2 Hamhuis and Dorsett at once: “Engy looked like Andre The Giant in my young days.”
