For whatever reason it was done (likely more to prevent someone else from attempting to make money off of the nickname), and whoever advised him to do it (agent, business manager, Flames), he's the one that has to be the one to answer to that decision.
It's part of being in the bigger spotlight, especially if that includes the decision to stick one's neck out there, no matter the reasons behind.
As for the game, would've been neat to see, but, oh well. I suspect many here that are "upset" has more to do with the teasing earlier in the day yesterday as if it was going to happen. Having 11 forwards, all who basically the same amount of time (12-15 minutes) and all (outside of the token home towners and the odd fan selection) are all top players, so its not as if the 4th line has a different role then the first line. No one breaks a sweat, is hardly an issue, especially since the coahces change up lines a few times during the game.
