So, let what sink in?

At this point I have to ask you though, are you actually watching Flames games? Because you are asking for evidence, but it was right in front of your eyes the whole season. It's a matter of preference if you want to see it or ask people over and over again to prove it really happened. I don't have time to go through hours of footage to put together a clip, only to be disregarded as cherry-picking or countered by some 2014 Brodie highlights. Also I tried really hard to find one but looks like not a single site is counting "own-goals". There are plenty of those in hockey, but by what I have said earlier I didn't mean deflecting a shot off the shin pads into your own goal. I am talking about active attempts to play the puck in front of your own net which ends up going in. One example:

When talking about lethal giveaways hurting this team, theres a series changer:

But to put more credit into it, this is not coming out of my head, this is actually discussed for quite some time in the media, only fans biased to T.J. don't want to hear it. But see for yourself:

I will go as far as saying that trading Brodie has become almost impossible as no team is really interested in adding a defensive liability to play top or second pairing minutes while having to pay something in return which would be interesting for us.
