Brad McCrimmon was defensive gold in '89, but in 1990 he actively quit on the team and led a group of players campaigning to get Terry Crisp fired. Cliff Fletcher had to dump him for a draft pick just to get rid of the malcontent.

As I say, that's just players who were on the 1990 team. I mentioned that team because it was obvious that they were playing to get the coach fired. The low point was a 12-4 playoff loss to the sub-.500 L.A. Kings. Lindholm was never part of anything like that.

lol
ok Lindholm is the worst Flames playoff performer in the past 35 years. and he is a Canuck. He can go eff himself.

Playoff points as Flames...

Lindholm: 27G, 17 Pts
Tkachuk: 27G, 15 Pts

First player I looked at. I am not going to argue that Lindholm was an awesome playoff performer or anything, but why you need to exaggerate to the nth degree, about everything, is just bizarre.

[Beninho]

That is a weak call, wow

[butterfly]

No matter what Lindholm did as a Flame I would be cheering for him if he was playing against Vancouver and I hope he utterly fails if he's playing for Vancouver.

No, Lindholm is not the worst Flames playoff performer in the last 35 years. I just picked that one year because it stood out in my mind, but there have been plenty of awful performances in the playoffs for the Flames since then.

For instance, I didn't mention Trevor Kidd, who spectacularly blew the '95 series against the Sharks (the series, by the way, that set an NHL record with 61 goals scored by both teams combined). Or Robert Reichel, who (as a Toronto reporter said) could score 40 goals in a season and not one of them would be meaningful. Or Matthew Lombardi, who was OK in the '04 run, but in the following two playoffs was about as useful as a balloon on skates.

Lindholm doesn't even rate a dishonourable mention.

It is hang on time for the Predators and be the first team to win game one as the visitors!

[Tuco]

This play by play crew is hilarious. Cry some more!

[hwy19man]

Saros, just like his predecessor (Rinne), is the reason the Predators could beat the Canucks.

[Tuco]

Ick. 2 goals in 12 seconds.

Madcap!

[Rhett44]

What a play by Lindholm!

[traptor]

Quinn Hughes is a fun player.

Hopefully we get our own this year in buium or parakh

[Jbo]

Wild sequence there

Joshua is going to get paid in the off-season, good player.

[Beninho]

Ya Joshua was a sneaky great signing

He's having a hell of a game

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

Dakota Joshua outside of the top players is the most important player on the Canucks. He really helps stir the drink with his physical play and ability to score timely goals. Their season went off the rails when they lost him after playing the Blackhawks and the Minnesota disaster that happened a couple of days later.

This is fun.
I don't care how much I normally hate the Canucks; Hughes, Miller, Big Z, Demko is a fun team to watch. I've git no love for Nashville anyway...

[Royle9]

Vancouver on their heels for half the period now… just dumping it constantly, no possession in the last 5 mins.
