Geeze, reading this thread you'd think the guy didnt just lead his NHL team in goal scoring for the 7th straight year, while working his way into the top 5 of the NHL ironman list, despite being only 27 years old.

But the Toronto media turns on a guy, and suddenly the public consensus is that he's a useless bum, with the worst contract in the league.

"Wouldn't want him to steal Emile Poirier's spot."

I'm not saying that he's a good fit for the Flames, but seriously. He was named best-forward of the 2014 Olympics. He's an all-world talent.

People hate him because the Toronto media hates him.
