While it would have been nice to be picking a few spots higher in the draft, I think it should be more embarrassing for every team beneath the Flames in the standings and especially the Coilers, who after having their pick of the best talent coming to the NHL the last 5 friggen years!

Don't get me wrong, I never want players to mail it in. I don't think anybody wanted that.
I think most/all people were hoping for our rookies to play great and build up confidence, compete hard and the other team play up to their abilities and not fall flat on their face (i.e. Jimmy Howard) and thus... lose.
