The calendar has now switched over to December, and the holiday season is almost here. The main gift many Flames fans want is a certain Penn State prospect, but for now, let’s settle with the ones currently in the system.
A solid Calgary Wranglers debut for Justin Kirkland, a three point game from William Stromgren and a historical night for Martin Frk led to a high scoring game for Calgary against the Henderson Silver Knights.
William Stromgren had a good year with the Calgary Wranglers last season and took steps ahead from his rookie season. He was fourth in team scoring and the thing that kept him from taking the next step into an NHL debut was his consistency.
William Stromgren’s NHL debut was something fans were anticipating in the 2024-25 season. He made a great jump in the second half of his rookie season and left a lasting impression going into his last off-season.
NHL head coaches have to hire good assistants. They have to set an overarching philosophy, juggle lineup configurations, and do the kind of “man management” that is impossible to track statistically.
The William Stromgren we started to see at the end of the 2024 season is not the same William Stromgren we saw for the majority of the 2024-25 season and no one knows it better than him.
As the NHL regular season comes to an end, the Calgary Flames find themselves in an intense playoff race. With a huge loss over the Anaheim Ducks, the team’s playoff chances look bleak.
