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?)

A number of people commented on not wanting him on the Flames because of his father being one of the worst hockey dads anyone had encountered.
I have no first hand knowledge of this, but there were numerous comments about it on here and on that other board at the time of the draft.
