Calgary Flames free agents would prefer to remain with team
Officially, David Schlemko never scored a point for the Calgary Flames.
Unofficially, he scored the club’s highlight goal of the season.
Flames fans were still trying to figure out how to pronounce the new defenceman’s name when Bob Hartley tapped him on the shoulder and sent him out for a shootout attempt in Boston.
Next thing you know, he’s a hashtag: #TheSchlemko.
“It’s kinda faded off a little bit, but it was kinda cool,” Schlemko said of the furor his ridiculous dangle created.
“Being in my first game, you realize you’re in a Canadian market right away with how much it blew up.
“It was a little crazy.”
