I still can't help but like Ference. He was a pretty solid Flame for a few years and clearly didn't want to leave. He even gave a shout out to Iggy, Reggie, and the boys in Calgary after his Cup win, saying it should have happened in '04.
His cheap attack on Stempniak was very out of character, and because he had Oiler rags on it immediately undid a lot of the great work Andrew had done on and off the ice in Calgary and Boston in the eyes of some short-term memory Flames fans. I'm not excusing that action, it pissed me off too, but in the grand scheme of things it is rather inconsequential.
Feces takes place.
