All this confusion could have been avoided if you had bothered to read the posts that were being quoted.

I read the posts although I missed where the Russian reference came from although you seemed to have missed the point that I was making, that despite the outrage which is just another emotional reaction, the truth is the Russian goalie would have been the better pick. I found it interesting because I've previously compared the Jankowski pick with picking a goalie because they both are predicted to take about the same time to see any results. The advantage with a goalie is you get an extra year before they need to pass through waivers.
In the long run though, I'm a Flames fan so I hope all our prospects do well, including Jankowski.
