 When Montreal won the Cup, Myre was included in the team picture and was given a Stanley Cup ring, but his name was left off the Cup, even though he qualified, because he did not dress for any playoff games.He was claimed by the Atlanta Flames in the 1972 NHL Expansion Draft, where he played for almost six seasons.Although Myre began as the starting goaltender for the expansion club, he spent most of his time in Atlanta backing up Dan Bouchard.
