Canucks defenceman hilariously chirps Flames brutal year on hot mic

Last night, the Vancouver Canucks took on the Calgary Flames in a late-season game, but the rivalry was still alive. Right in front of a camera, defenceman Filip Hronek was letting the chirps fly.

With the Canucks holding a commanding three goal lead heading into the third period, Hronek stood leaning along the bench while just laying into the Flames players, coldly letting them know that their vacation begins in two days.


As the surprise winners of the Pacific division this year, the Canucks have set themselves up for an actual run in the playoffs this year. Currently, they're slotted to face the Nashville Predators in the first round. It'll be an interesting matchup, but through the year the Canucks have proven to be the better team. Hronek himself has been a big part of the Canucks success this year. After being acquired from Detroit and playing with Quinn Hughes, Hronek has put up an amazing career year of 5 goals and 48 points in 81 games. As an RFA at the end of this season, Hronek will be demanding a big raise from his current contract of $4.4M.

Out of the western Canadian NHL teams that all have an intense rivalry with each other, the Calgary Flames are clearly the little brother of the group right now - and they're getting the tough treatment for it.
