That's a CP misconception. He's a skilled, hard working player that at times lacks discipline. You just have to let him go out and play his game which is what Quenneville has done as he feels the positives outweigh the negatives of the occasional bad penalty. Flames coaches put all their efforts into neutering him and a neutered player is what they got.
