I can respect the idea of giving the guy a chance to prove himself in a contract year (a year that's been a write-off for the Flames for the last month)...but I have NEVER seen a guy given so much rope, nor one who's tied such a fine noose for himself with said rope.

You can see it every game now. Teams are flicking little wristers from the point all over the place, and almost every shot is high. They'd done it to an extent all year, but starting at the Columbus game in Calgary about a month ago it's almost every shot now.
