Dude was one of the few reasons to be excited about the team while it was rebuilding. Easily one of the most exciting players in the league, and probably most exciting in Flames history. A great story of a player overcoming all odds to become a superstar. His parents were legendary around these parts. He finally got us over the 1st round hump last season. I will probably be one of the few who won't boo him.
I wish his tenure didn't end how it did, and I wish he was still a Flame. But it is what it is; a business after all.
If it gets him off his game, sure I guess I'll boo then. But doing it out of spite or anger just isn't something I can bring myself to do. He was an awesome player while he was here, a good ambassador for the team, and brought excitement to the team (most of the time) night in and night out.
