Breaking just now:A sad evening as multiple reports confirm terrifying news hit Winnipeg Jets

Noah Hanifin wore a Calgary Flames jersey long enough that he knows full well what tends to happen at the Saddledome when players return after deciding to pursue opportunities elsewhere.

He was there when Johnny Gaudreau got booed. Same with Matthew Tkachuk. Nikita Zadorov, too.

Not every player gets that treatment and almost all of them get an appreciative round of applause when the Flames play a video tribute for them.

But there are often lots of boos and Hanifin, now playing with the Vegas Golden Knights, had to know he was in for the same treatment later on Thursday evening when he spoke with the Calgary media that afternoon.

Honestly, I’m not even trying to think about that too much, I’m just trying to focus on my play,” Hanifin said. “Can’t be worried about the distractions during the game and stuff like that, just gotta go out and execute and perform.

Whatever does happen, I know I had a great time in Calgary and I loved my time here and the people I met in the community and in the organization are the people that matter the most to me and that’s really what I care about.”
