Calgary Flames 2017 wish list: What they asked for from Santa

Merry Christmas everyone! With it being Christmas, let’s take a look at what each Calgary Flames player is asking for from Santa!

For the second year in a row, we’ve managed to get a hold of each player on the Calgary Flames’ Christmas wish list. But don’t tell Santa! We need to remain on the nice list with how the season is going so far.

So, want to know what each player asked for from Santa? Keep reading!

Mark Giordano: Hey Santa, last year I asked for some hair. You didn’t fulfill my request. So this year, I’m asking for no hair and hoping you do the same again. Thanks.

TJ Brodie: Can I please just have a good partner who won’t get injured? This has been going on for too long.

Kris Versteeg: Listen, I’m not some old geezer. Why is my hip messed up? Please Santa, if you could get the Calgary Flames to make the playoffs this year and I can play more hockey this season, that’d be awesome.

Mikael Backlund: That was nice of you to bring me another Swede to start this season, Santa. I was finally able to dress up as Abba for Halloween! But you took him away from me. Can I get another Swede?

Johnny Gaudreau: I still think you’re real, Santa. Don’t worry. But what I would like this season is to get my mojo back. I had a good start to the season, but I’ve sort of stepped back a little. Please help me. Also can you get everyone to stop making fun of my height?

Matt Stajan: Gio did the opposite bald thing as last year, didn’t he? He stole my idea again.

Matthew Tkachuk: Hey Santa. I don’t really need anything. But maybe everyone can stop calling me the next Brad Marchand. I may be a pest, but I’m my own unique pest. Also no more suspensions.

Curtis Lazar: Look Santa, I know I haven’t been that great and everyone thinks my signing was a bust. Maybe help me get some points? I could use them. You’re the best!

Garnet Hathaway: I’ve been well with Benny and Janko. All I ask is that I can keep it up and not be sent down anytime soon.

Sean Monahan: I get it, I’m boring. Last year, I asked for people to stop comparing me to Boring Monahan. This year, I’m accepting it. Maybe you can let me hit 40 goals this season for the first time in my career. And help my good friend Johnny out of his slump.

Travis Hamonic: Me and Brods like JUST started getting chemistry and you had to go and give me an injury. Please Santa, no more injuries.

Freddie Hamilton: I’d like to play more with my brother. I know I haven’t been good this year, but let’s face it, I’m better than Lazar (don’t tell him I said that). Anyways Santa, thanks for not sending me down when I cleared waivers so I could stay up with Doug. I’d like more minutes please.

Michael Stone: I don’t have a lot to ask this year. You gave me a great contract, but maybe I could get more minutes (Don’t tell Travis I’m asking for this).

Dougie Hamilton: More opportunties for Dougie Bombs.

David Rittich: You’ve already given me what I wanted, Santa! Finally playing up with the Calgary Flames is a dream. And it’s super cool playing with a Czech legend like Jagr. Also be nice to Fro for inviting me over for Christmas, that was nice of him.

Troy Brouwer: Can people stop saying “Brouwer Play”? It’s lame. Also, can people stop being mean to me? I’m doing my best… sort of.

Mike Smith: Hey Santa, maybe you can not let me take anymore pictures with Johnny since it looks like a father/son picture every time we take one. Also, more shutouts. Thanks.

Matt Bartkowski: Can people stop calling me Matt Fartkowski? It’s getting old.

Brett Kulak: This season has been great getting basically a full-time role with the Calgary Flames. The only thing I ask for Santa is that next time someone gets injured, maybe I can play with Rasmus Andersson and not Fartkowski? (Don’t tell him I called him that).

Michael Frolik: Maybe next time the guys all clearly plan some sort of trip to the barber, they can invite me too. Have you seen my hair? It’s a mess.

Jaromir Jagr: Ok Santa, I know I’m old, but I’m only 34 games away from beating the record for most amount of games played. Please let me be healthy the rest of the season so I can break that record. And please stop letting the Calgary Flames go to overtime. I’m too old for 3on3.

Mark Jankowski: This year has been a great year, thanks Santa! Playing with Benny and Hath and even Jags has been a dream come true! The only thing I ask is that this stays and hopefully I sign with the Flames and I don’t get sent down again.
