Except Mike Smith. F that guy.

I haven't had an axe to grind with him his entire career as a Flames player. I have an axe to grind with him this year. Because he had a #### year. It's OK to be critical of players.
I wish him all the best in his future endeavors. Thanks for your services.
No one will even remember the dude much after he's gone for 4-5 years. He's not a franchise icon or something.
BTW: The dude is on his way out. He made his comments because he knows that he is on his way out anyway. I disagree with the fans that wanted the team to lose down the stretch- by then it didn't matter anyway- might as well have tried to win. BUT they have a right to their opinion. AND don't deserve to be called out by the worst player on the roster relative to expectations.
Andersson thinks he's a superstar. He is not. He will find out. Lindholm had the same hubris. He thought he was a super star. He is finding out. Markstrom thought he was a consistent, all world goalie. He is finding out.
Must be the water over in Sweden. Good riddance.
