Fair enough - I hope I'm wrong about the regression and we see more uptake and the team buying in and possessing the puck more. Time will tell... I just had bad flashbacks of the same 'ole same 'ole while watching the game...

Those two guys have been a bright spot in what is otherwise a pretty dismal season so far.

I'd wait and see a bit longer. Although he has shown flashes of skill, I have not been impressed with his skating. He looks extremely slow out there and has no ability to break free from back checks or win loose puck battles. I don't know if it's a health thing or what, but if his skating doesn't get better, he's not going to be much of a player in this league.

Nothing to be ashamed of. I called this mess years ago when people still thought the team was elite. It bothers a lot of longtime posters that some of my perceived negative posts eventually became reality checks.

I'm not a nostalgic guy. I never live in the past nor do I look back. I don't care about what any player, coach, or GM has done for the franchise. When they aren't part of the solution they need to go.

The only times I have been wrong was with Playfair in that I was one of the first that wanted him fired and I was right he had to go (because he didn't have the respect of the so called leaders of the team) however I had no idea at the time that the locker room was so toxic and I now believe Jim got a raw deal.

Also wrong on Kipper. I have called for him to go in the past and while he has only been great ever second season going back to 2007 I feel that he's probably been the glue that's held this team back from becoming Oiler bad.

WOW, that is so impressive! I am in awe! Congratulations! Please share more! I'd pat you on the back, but well... it seems you've taken care of that too.

I'm starting to think this as well. Those two guys bring a different dimension to the game - puck possession, control and creativity that we haven't seen with the Flames recently. Maybe we need to see a few more games of him to make a better call, but I really like what I've seen from him.

Ha ha ha!! Thanks for that comic relief! I'm glad someone has a sense of humor and can joke about themselves. That's great....self parody, Brilliant!

Wow.

I always pictured you writing this post, but I never thought you would go ahead and actually submit such a self-serving, condescending piece of narcissistic tripe.

You have really outdone yourself with this, and that is saying something.
