I remember when all of a sudden some of CP decided that Iginla was a dressing room cancer. Then Glencross was "bad for the kids". I'm sure we aren't far off from turning on Giordano.
Props to Calgaryblood for going after Joe Colbornes' character retroactively. You don't see that often. (Because who the hell cares anymore)

Not a single person has said he would be a bad influence in the room or had an attitude problem. Literally no one. His play on the ice would be a bad influence because of his no heart, no passion, pond hockey style of play.
His work in the community was amazing that has not been matched by anyone the Flames have ever had. He's a great person. Can that be more clear? I've said it numerous times before and after his departure. Him being a nice person isn't the issue here and not what anyone is talking about. My comments on Colborne have been consistent since day 1, didn't like him with the Leafs, not as a Flame, and definitely not as an AV. How does a player have one assist in 21 games? You'd think he'd get a few by accident.
