The flames have won 4 playoff rounds in 29 years.
The fourth line and bottom pairing have almost always been inadequate.
Maybe the hate has been somewhat justifiable? Maybe the natives are restless for a reason?
Obviously there is a high gesticulating idiot quotient on this and other message boards, but maybe fans are upset about a guy making the squad on a professional tryout because there was quite literally no one else in the organization suited to that role?
