Because he is a Canucks fan, and because he is trying to manufacture outrage to generate web hits and therefore advertizing banner views for his employer.

As noted, the way you handle people like him is to ignore them.

That's all positive news, but that's about it. This team still has a 19-year-old top-line center, no credible forward depth to speak of, and no top-end offensive talent up front. Over the course of 82 games, that will catch up to them.

In the early going they've ridden extremely favorable bounces at both ends of the rink, but they're the second worst team in the NHL at controlling the flow of play at five-on-five (or, put another way, the worst team in the NHL non-Sabres category). This Flames team is going to run into a stretch of brutal losses soon enough, and all of the feel good early season story lines about their super duper comeback-ability and effortiness will be exposed for the bankrupt, repetitive fraud that it is."

As much as I tend to lend credence to advanced stats (or at least be open to the possibility that it has predictive value), it's arrogant d-bags like this that make me cringe. Bankrupt, repetitive fraud is how he characterizes the Flames season? Sounds more like a critique of his writing skills.
