Saturday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome is set to be a memorable one for Calgary Flames fans, regardless of the game's outcome.

As the Flames geared up to host the Montreal Canadiens, the evening is made even more special by the presence of Calgary's own legend, Lanny McDonald, marking his first public appearance since his cardiac event in early February.

The crowd's response to McDonald's introduction was heartwarming, as he was greeted with a resounding ovation. The former NHL star responded with multiple salutes and even blew kisses to the fans, visibly touched by the outpouring of love and support from the Saddledome faithful.

This emotional reunion between McDonald and the Flames community is a highlight of the night, creating a poignant moment that will linger in the hearts of those present.

McDonald's health scare occurred while he was at the Calgary International Airport, and he has since expressed his gratitude towards the bystanders and medical professionals whose quick actions played a crucial role in his recovery.
