He's been "done here" for countless posts, but the narcissist in him can't stop replying to everything that he's apparently "done with". Either way, great entertainment.

I never said she shouldn't or there even was a problem with that. Of course though certain people had to turn that into the dramafest we have here now because they enjoy it. It's ridiculous. Like how old are some of these posters?

The drama in this thread is absurd but from all the sources close to the situation, it's pretty clear that it was not Meredith that made this decision for him and playing "blame the wife" is a low-blow. It was an emotional choice, a shared choice, and a last-minute compromise. He was torn between playing closer to home but also thought about signing back to play with Lindholm and Tkachuk at the last minute before Columbus called. That's what he said in interviews/his letter and there's no reason not to believe him.

In a recent interview in Columbus, Johnny explained that Meredith embarked on a 9 month retraining/re-certification to be allowed to work in Canada as a nurse (interrupted by Covid). She does not do that if her ultimate plans were to pull him back to the US all along.

Gaudreau chose to leave and that's totally fine. He's a professional sports player, not your ex-wife. All these bitter break ups are stupid and there are 11 days until the next era is here.

It's his right, but I guess if he's not sad about it, why should I be?

I will still love the time he spent in Calgary. I don't think I've followed a Calgary prospect from early on as much I did Johnny. From his draft year as some skinny kid that looks like he should be working at McDonalds, to his BC years, to his 8 years with the Flames. It was a good ride. Just wish it would have been longer.

That said, how Treliving completely revamped the team this summer has definitely taken all of the sting out. I'd argue the team is better built now, so I'm looking forward to bigger and better things for the Flames.
I've asked this question many times in different forms, but what is the actual value of any of that? Blind adoration from a bunch of people who are obviously very fickle and might end up running you out of town if the team can't win anyways...

So I am just supposed to let posters attack me? Like calling me a "narcissist"? Wtf is wrong with you? This is supposed to be a community of fans that like the same team but as soon as someone makes an observation that differs from the masses they get piled on, attacked, and belittled by the same posters that always amplify this crap and then it snowballs. Every time.

This is exactly what I am talking about. This little troll right here. Show me where I said "whipped". I didn't. This is what you do on here though. You make crap up to troll, you insult posters, and you never face any repercussions. I am out, you win.

Yes. That’s what you are supposed to do do. It’ll make this place a lot better. You don’t just have a ‘different’ observation. You have a dumb opinion based on your own weird assumptions. How can you lack so much self awareness to not see that? You have completely fabricated a scenario in your own mind and are getting angry when people are calling it out.

No one is feeling bad that people here aren't letting you have your little misogynist safe space my dude.

My source is rock solid but apparently squiggs stays at JG place and that is totally believable according to you guys. This place is toxic, I have better things to do with my time.

all that drama for a player who's moved on. Certainly not worth it.

Yes. But also, the narcissist comment was an observation that I could have probably not added, as it doesn't add to the conversation. So I'll apologize for that at least. See how easy it is to get along?

Regardless, you aren't innocent in any of these threads. Only something you can figure out yourself, I suppose.

LOL. Next he’ll be telling us that he has a rock solid inside source that he can’t name.
