This is the same guy who, back in '04 or thereabouts, announced to the world that the Flames were doomed to lose Jarome Iginla as a UFA because the team could not afford to give him the 10% raise required on his qualifying offer.
Of course, he was wrong about the QO: only players earning less than the NHL average had to be offered a 10% raise. And he was wrong about what the team could afford. His conclusion was so far out there it fell into the category of ‘not even wrong’.
Dowbiggin isn't always out to lunch, but when he does go out to lunch, he takes his tiffin in a whole ’nother galaxy. If you ever hear somebody say that oranges are blue, and bunny rabbits have wheels, and therefore the Saskatchewan Roughriders are going to win the Stanley Cup – well, you're probably hearing Bruce Dowbiggin on one of his bad days.
