I get that everyone is frustrated with the Flames but to take it out on a fourth liner (who actually has a point this week) and fellow fans is stupid

lol, i'm not taking it out on a fourth liner, I'm saying spending 5 million bucks on a 4th liner is idiotic and it's part of the reason the flames can't score goals.
The flames are paying a guy 5 million bucks to score 0 goals whereas other teams are paying guys 5 million bucks to score 20-40 goals.
The reason the flames can't score goals is partially because they don't have enough goal scorers, because they are paying close to 10 million bucks to guys who either can't score or who don't even play for the Flames anymore.
That's what 6 years of Treliving has brought thus far. 31st in goal scoring rate, 27th in actual goal scoring.
