Ryan Heggedal

@EricFrancis He was great!

Those of us on the panel who weren’t called up to the big booth upstairs couldn’t resist pointing out the career milestone Brent Krahn hit tonight. That, and several other insights on our second intermission hit:

@bmyhres Animal! I remember you had to run the goalie to find a partner. Ha!

WHL line brawl: 1992 Coach: “that’s hockey”

Ken Griffin, founder of Citadel, has a $10 plaque behind his desk that reads: "If we're all going to eat, someone has to sell." Of all the things this man could surround himself with, he chose a cheap plaque with a blunt truth about business. "You're always selling. You're selling to candidates. You're selling to vendors, you're selling to counterparties, you're selling to customers." And if you're always selling, you know what you're going to hear a lot of? "No." Griffin doesn't sugarcoat it. He tells two stories that illustrate just how brutal rejection can be. 1994 was a rough year, with Citadel losing ~4% of its capital. Griffin flew to Switzerland for a crucial lunch meeting, sat down, and his guest arrived only to say: "Oh, I thought you were John Griffin from Fen Church. I got to go." His lunch date got up and left the table. Later that afternoon, a Swiss banker spent 45 minutes with him in a beautiful office, smoking a cigar, before closing with: "Such a pity that such a bright young man picked the wrong career." Two rejections in one day for the founder of one of the most successful hedge funds in history — and his takeaway was simply this: "You just have to tolerate. You're going to hear no a lot, but you need to become accustomed to having to market your ideas and market what you represent and what you stand for." Absorbing rejection and continuing anyway is the actual skill, whether you're hiring, raising capital, or winning customers. Most people avoid selling because they're afraid of no. The ones who build great things have learned to expect it.

@DarrenWHaynes No quit in this group. Tough to find the wins, but they are all in.

Flames will wake up on trade deadline day in 31st place overall — and with four players age 34 or older on their active roster (Backlund, Kadri, Hanley, Coleman).

@ryanwhitney6 Maybe #13

I will have a Team USA Jack Hughes jersey behind the seat at my desk for the rest of time. What an incredible description of how every USA hockey fan felt

@TSNJFranklin He gets it done…Looks like he loves doing it

Mark Stone may be my new favourite player… I never quite understood the hype around Stone, or what makes him so good. I think I’m starting to get it now. He’s elite everywhere. I’m impressed. #Canada #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026 #LetsGo

Ok so McJesus can now just crush people as well?

@JasonGregor Also hard to replicate with 7 minutes of ice time

"You have to be aware of the type of goals your player scores. When Andrew (Mangiapane) scored 35 goals he had 12 broken play goals. Those are very difficult to replicate in the future, and I'm not sure if they (Calgary) had looked that deeply on how he scored and we got him a big raise," Ritch Winter on arbitration preparation. @Sports1440

#1 Rule of Coaching: Your athletes need to know you care. Not just about performance, but about them as people.

@walsha That looks like a pretty solid elbow

F*** Parros and his gang of Kangaroos. #EndCTE

@ryanwhitney6 Clearly he was targeted. He’s a lock for #1

Can take the kid out of the western league but can’t take the western league out of the kid. Rob Blake got into a fight on the ride to the draft and he’s in the hall of fame just saying

@thewrongjess We all of lots of gear. Let us know if what you need sizes etc.

Came back to our truck after the Skills Comp, about to head straight to practice and someone had smashed the window and stole my son’s hockey equipment. I am so heartbroken for my dude and trying to find the words to explain to him how truly garbage some humans can be 💔💔

Bill Belichick shares the 3 things he saw in Tom Brady that made him great. "His talent was okay. But he was very smart, he loved football, and he worked extremely hard." "Day after day after day after day, he just kept improving."

@rayferraro21 Love the Chum!!!

Hi Bill. I guess this universe. Rust 3gm suspension. Not fired today chum. Stay in your lane hey? 👇👇

@RobSchneider This Columbo he pretends to be stupid but he’s very smart…as a tack

I appreciate the support, however, I never made these statements and I did not sell the bourbon company, and I certainly would never brag about monies. It is a false quote.
