I know the cool and popular thing to do it hate on Jones. He may have been a frustrating player at times, but he definetly played with heart and gave it his all. He was a Flame for over 2.5 seasons. Jones was a key part in our playoff run last year and was huge for us in the playoffs. It's not his fault he was injured quite a bit, or that he was overpaid. And it's certainly not his fault that Feaster made that trade.

So thank you for you time in Calgary David Jones.

Also,I think it is ridiculous that TheScorpions thread got closed. What's the big deal about it? Sure he's probably trolling but theres nothing wrong with an appreciation thread about a former Calgary Flame. Posters like him are what keep this forum interesting. I used to respect Jiri quite a bit, but I really think he should not have locked that thread, plus Jiris' comment before he locked it was a bit much. Especially for a mod.
