lol what?

Toronto fans and media are notorious for ripping their team to shreds even when they’re good.

Soon he’ll join Baertchi and Jagr in my closet of flames jerseys for players who played like 10 career games after I got their names crested.

Sharangovic, Coronato, Zary have all taken a huge step backwards.

The idea that Huska is a good development coach is right up there with the rumor that Marilyn Manson removed a rib to felate himself.

Backlund/Coleman developed both Coronato and Zary...and now Honzek. Once those players moved to a different line they started to play like everyone else burdened with Huska's crap system.

Can't wait to finish dead last and lose the draft lottery and get a shiny new toy for Huska to ruin.
You need to find some new material.

Can we get the guy who helped develop Coronato and Zary in the AHL? I bet whomever that was probably knows how to shepherd young talent.

I'll see you and raise...I too have a Jagr, but some of the rest of my list is:

Monahan - Almost immediately traded
Regehr - Traded
Gaudreau - Immediately left
Iginla - Traded

There are more, but what you should be concerned about is that I'm holding a Coleman which...that writing is on the wall and I just got a Fox jersey...so...do you believe in fate?

Great tank job. Anyone who is actively cheering for wins at this point is simply not being a good fan.

Embrace the tank!

if memory serves before Huska it was Markstrom that he was directing his irrational hatred towards

Oh come on you’ve got like 2000 career flames games played in those jerseys. I have 100 tops.

To be fair, if you waited until right before Iginla was traded to buy his jersey you kind of deserve what you got. He actually had a nice little run with the team before that.

Default Leafs defeat Flames 4-3, Oct. 28th

Really happy for Honzek as he has played well and generated some great chances, but tonight he was rewarded.

Excellent work, keep playing the young talent.

They rip them because they expect them to win

Anything other than winning the cup is a failure for Treliving

Game slipped away with unforced errors. The Flames' motif this season.

Tons of the talking heads and fans were talking cup this summer, they have been trading firsts like crazy, Matthews contract winding down,
cup or bust for the Leafs...just wait until the Jays are done the pressure will ramp up big time

That's the worst part about the Flames blowing this...imagine the panic if they lost this game they should have lost

I understand that he played a few games, yeah.

My policy is that I do not buy 'named' jerseys. Every named jersey I have is a gift or thanks for services rendered. I've never bought one for myself.

And the Iginla jersey...everyone loves Iginla! Its a little cliché. I want different jerseys. My favourite Flame was Robyn Regehr so my wife got that for me for Christmas one year.

I know The Chase is fluff. But covering this disastrous season with an unflinching eye would be somewhat refreshing.
