I know you can't just give people a total pass on things, but I can't help but feel like the trauma he experienced in his life and the subsequent chronic substance abuse, really affected the pathways in his brain in really negative ways. It's not shocking that he ended up messed up. These ramblings of his are not coming from a healthy person IMO.
I hope he figures stuff out one day, but at this point, he seems way too far gone. Like others, he was my favourite player for years and I was devastated when he left the Flames, more so than any player previously or since. I choose to ignore him now and try to keep his days with the Flames preserved in my own little brain vault.
