I don't watch the Flames right now to see Tim Jackman spear people and generally do his best impersonation of a penalty taking pylon.

I watch the Flames to see the young guys progress, notably Sven Baertschi. Kind of tough as a fan to cheer for Sven when he is in the press box.

To put it another way, would you rather pay to see the Flames with Sven in the line-up, or Jackman? For me the choice is quite clear; the product on the ice is much more exciting with a young game breaker. As a consumer, why would I waste my hard earned money to support a team that insists on icing an inferior entertainment product?

Keep up the mediocre work Bob.
