About this episode
On this hour of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon are joined by Calgary Flames alumnus Colin Patterson to reflect on the life and legacy of legendary Flames GM Cliff Fletcher, who passed away Friday at the age of 90. Patterson shares his memories of Fletcher’s impact on the franchise, from stories of negotiating his next contract directly with Cliff, how Cliff recruited Colin to Calgary, to his role in assembling the powerhouse teams that battled Edmonton in the 1980s and captured the Stanley Cup in 1989. The conversation touches on Fletcher’s influence bringing European players into the NHL, his reputation as a bold dealmaker, and the legacy he left not just in Calgary but across the league — while also offering a personal look at Fletcher as both a leader and a person.
