Much of the disdain likely comes from the fact that many media types bashed the Flames for skipping him, despite the fact that 10 or 12 other teams did as well.
Then there were the Nuck fans who were extremely chirpy about how they got the better player between him and Poirier.
Finally, there was some talk that he never liked the Flames and didn't want to be drafted by them (pure speculation as far as I have seen, but when does that stop people?)
