If you want to bring up the Flames, fine. Most people here agree that it should be blown up. Everyone on the CBC panel last night on HNIC said it should be blown up. ...
RNH is the biggest floater in the league right now. Trying to do everything with 'skill.'
For someone that was a clear #1 pick, he sure is horrible.

They are a mess on the ice, and I don't care what they say, they have pretty much been in rebuild mode since Pronger told them to get stuffed.
Yet they continue to believe the propaganda hype issued by the team as does the dumbest set of media people in hockey that this team is going somewhere.
I laugh at the year after year hype and the buy in that they're building something special up there. They aren't building anything special up there. If not for some very good goaltending this year, the Oilers are a 3 or 4 win team.
The media and fans should be angry and or laughing at the Flames for not starting to swing assets to change the dynamic of the team. But the fact that anyone thinks that Lowe and moron have stumbled onto any genius strategy is laughable at best. If any team needs to be blown up its Edmonton from the top down.
Its going to be angry to see Edmonton playing a Hawks team today that is coming off of their first regular time loss this year.
The Flames might be bad, the Oilers are worse and will be for a long time.

Wow boys, rather skewed and bias view of your team and the Oilers.
If Edmonton fans are dumb, then the Flames fans must be in a comatose state or lobotomized. Most Flames fans seemed to accept that former Sutter and now Feaster were and are doing fantastic to assembled a team of 2nd and third liners who are way-over agers and making the playoffs (and contend). The team is continually having one of the highest numbers of NTC and NMC signed.
Their owners love Kipper and Iggy so much that they have become Miss Havisham who was left at the alter wishing and hoping that one day, they will unite under Lord Stanley while never letting them go as their values diminshed each year.
The media are the ones doing the hyping because it attracts interests and apparently you guys ate it up. The Oilers are trying to appease their fans while maintaining that they are going through some tough growing pains and most likely staying the course.
You have a terrible assessment of RNH and truly incorrect. He plays both ends of the ice and an unbelievable passer. He is very talented player and has a great hockey IQ and vision. He is going through some tough stretches this year.
