I think everyone is 'over' the Stempniak thing, but right or wrong, it's something that's fresh in all our minds when Ference is brought up. I always thought he was heavily overrated by Flames fans (maybe because of his involvement here), and was ecstatic when he (and Kobasew) were traded. So for me, he didn't leave a legacy of solid defensive play, or anything positive hockey-related.
When I think of Ference, I'm reminded of the happiness I felt in my heart when he was traded, and the hate in my heart when he jumped Stempniak.
I don't like him.
