For whatever reason the Flames organizations plays favourites not based on merit but based on their gut feeling. And they load up on overpriced, underwhelming veterans.

You talking about the Flames playing favourites is pretty funny. I don't think there is a poster on this site that is more committed to their 'favourites', than you.
