I’m not well
Pow right in the kisser. Will miss the shit outta that guy, can’t wait for when Utah announces him as the C and he takes care of our son Tij.
It sucks that we couldn’t be in a situation where it made sense to keep him. So many players want to leave Canada and play in the US, it really does gut you when someone who wants to be here has to leave.
Class act
The business side of sports sometimes sucks
He was a great soldier here. . I think he was truly destined to be the next captain of the team. Wishing him nothing but the best
I love this fucking guy, my favorite player since the mass exodus of talent in 2022. I hope he kills it in Utah and maybe puts in a good word on behalf of Calgary to Tij once he’s called up 😂
Unbelievable teammate and a hell of a goal scorer for a dman. Love ya Weegs 🔥
Poor Buddy. 🙁
Best of luck out there Weegar.
“I called Hubie before I told everybody else,” said Weegar, in a lengthy phone interview in which he described in great detail the excruciating, five-and-a-half hour window in which he and his wife Maggie had to decide his future.
“I just wanted to give him the respect, because he’s my best friend, and we’ve been through a lot together. When I called him, that’s when it truly hit me. I cried. I cried a lot.”
Weegar was a great person for Calgary.
Who is cutting onions in here?
Real man never afraid of tears.
The Avs got Kadri back. Maybe, someday, Weegs can be a Flame again.
Will be missed!
I gotta be honest. I’ve liked a lot of guys here over the years. But I think Weegs was my favorite guy since Iggy. This one sucks.
“I wanted to bring a Cup there”
Fuck man. I thought he’d be the one helping lead the charge towards that (hopefully) in the near future.
Rebuilds are rough. But I’m glad he still feels the love.
Gonna miss him. Can’t wait for his return in April.
