The league is clearly out to get us, and it's getting tiresome.
Look, Connor Zary is never going to be a real NHLer. He was clearly a bust from the moment he suited up in the AHL and did nothing. That's a no-brainer.
It was incredibly stupid to trade the legend that is Tyler Toffoli for a healthy scratch in Sharangovich. That's another no-brainer.
Hanifin is a boring, middling defenceman who doesn't do anything particularly well and should have been traded by now. No-brainer.
And Coleman is just an overpaid plug who only cares about getting the big fat paycheque the Flames were dumb enough to give him as a free agent. Also a no-brainer.
If you remove all those exceptions, as for obvious reasons you should, the Flames were shut out tonight. And Markstrom gave up three goals, which is clearly too many for a no-talent team such as this.
Yet the NHL, dirty cheaters that they are, still gave us two points to wreck the value of our draft picks.
I insist on a do-over. Or a brainer, whichever.
