Well, that's a bit like saying you were speeding towards a cliff but at the last minute saying "well...this cliff is a cliff, and there's nothing we could have done about it being there."
It is wild to think that a year ago a good deal of us were saying how much of a disaster it would be to lose Gaudreau to free agency and how bad that is for the health of an organization...and here we are anyways.
Being a Flames fan can be tough, that's for sure. Love the team, warts and all...I just wish at times they were a little less warty.
I hope they get Johnny signed today, because I don't have a lot of excitement about what the team may do in response to losing him - but perhaps I'm wrong and they won't just jump out and spend money tomorrow in a misguided attempt to compete now.
