Mark Giordano’s tenure with the Calgary Flames brings to mind what is, in my opinion, the best episode of network TV ever produced: episode five of the fourth season of Lost, “The Constant.”
If any of us Flames fans were to have our consciousness sent through time, in order to avoid a temporal paradox, Mark Giordano would be our constant.
When we flashback to the 2011 Chris Butler era, in order to keep our brains from short circuiting we need something familiar to anchor us… something we care about… that also exists here in 2021.
