Stempniak won't be part of the Flames or any other teams playoff strategy.
I was shocked the Flames gave him a 2 year deal after that. It was basically Feaster panicking on trying to sneak into the playoffs.
He calls the team out after he was the team's worst forward with a -3. Kinda of rich.
Imagine the up roar we would have if the -4 Butler would have stood up after the game and said the team just has to play better.

2nd game back after rushing back from a broken foot to help a team that desperately needs a veteran presence AND in a game where two likely Olympians put on a clinic, I could give a damn about his +/-.
If we don't want to sit through Edmonton-esque futility, the team needs to be held accountable at all times, from both outside and within.
