5. Mike Leclerc - what a bum.
4. Anders Eriksson - You know what the worst part about Anders is? Darryl signed him to a one-year deal heading into the lockout, and he never played a game for us. But Darryl knows best, he didn't look at that as a bullet dodged, he went and found the bullet, put more gunpowder in it, a new shell casing, handed it back to the man with the gun, and then put the apple back on his head.
3. Jonas Hiller - quit on this team a month + before the season was over. F*** that guy.
2. Jeff Friesen - utter utter waste of space. And he put his pants on AFTER his skates, so the insides were all torn up and gross. Idiot.
1. Jay Bouwmeester - was never once the best player on the ice. Not once. It's not the lack of physical play, it's the apparent unwillingness to profoundly impact the game at any level. No offensive creativity, muffin shot, and no sense for the moment. The Flames played the Sharks at the end of the year, in a game they HAD to have to stay alive. It was 3-0 after 1 and Bouw made two godawful defensive plays that led directly to goals. People wonder why the hate for a guy who was good but not great - the reason is simple. Outwardly, the only reason he isn't great is because he appears to not want to be. And that brings out some kind of visceral reaction.
