Big deal!
I like Colborne and Backlund way more then the average fan. I can think of dozens of posters who are more intolerable.
Like guys that are super pessimistic or won't lay off their hate for 1 player. My least favourite is the condescending know it alls who refuse to use IMO or I think because their opinion is better than yours. How dare you disagree with them as their hockey knowledge is vastly superior!
Lets lay off the guy. We are all Flame fans and part of the same community. Live long and prosper!

I don't mind Scorpion at all. Yeah, his favourite player isn't a star and hasn't had a remarkable career, but that doesn't matter.
One of my absolute favourite players during his time here was Tom Kostopolous. He was an absolute workhorse. Another player that still stands out to me when I was first really getting into hockey and became a Flames fan (Slightly embarrassing fact, I didn't start watching hockey until I was 16, and then exclusively the Flames at 18) was Nigel Dawes. I remember him playing really good for his one season with us, 25 year old with 14 goals and 32 points in 66 games on the 3rd line while making league minimum? Yeah, I still don't understand why we let him go.
And even if Scorpion's love for David Jones is a sham and just his schtick to annoy people, then have at it. Sure a lot better than many posters schtick of near constantly making outright abrasive, rude and confrontational bait posts
