In anticipation of 2017, I predict a 7-1 Flames Win. Go Flames.
On another note, heard Eric Francis on Fan960 yesterday. I'll paraphrase here. He goes on to say that anyone who thinks that the Flames are the most penalized team due to the Wideman factor is dumb - wouldn't even entertain the conversation if broached. Almost immediately after, reports that it is true; since the day that the incident happened, Calgary became the most penalized team in the league. Yet, the two are completely unrelated and anyone who drows this conclusion is delusional.
I get that some may not believe that there is a conspiracy against the flames - I can both appreciate and understand this. But to provide a statistic that directly contradicts your statement is absolutely senseless.
Having lived in Edmonton for 10 years, and not a guy who reads, the paper, I didn't understand the disdain for Francis on these boards. It took only a few minutes listening to him to realize why. What a moron.
Then he goes on to say that Hathaway and Tkachuk are Kessler comparables. We shouldn't hate Kessler given we have two of them in our own roster.
Somewhere in all this, says that Johnny was slashed on the wrists 8 times during the Anaheim game. This will not go away and the flames need to learn how to neutralize this (without taking penalties of course though he believes in the enforcer/fighting). Indicated that taking out a team's best player in this fashion is justifiable.
My only regret is not recording this discussion on my phone.
