Dallas had an amazing Goalie, that's why they gave us so much trouble.

The Flames would have been incredibly unlucky had they lost that series.

It just seems that way to oiler fans, who didn't realize that Calgary beat Calgary, in the second round.

Why worry about that now? The organization has a few options they could give him a front office position, All Things Considered this would be his home. My guess is at 35 years old Johnny would get all kinds of standing ovations for his contributions to the Flames. In other words Johnny means a lot more to the city than just being a very good player. My guess is at 35 people will still be out there shoveling Johnny sidewalks.

Because that's what dummy non-insiders in the US would think.
Par for the ESPN course.

We're a feeder team for the big US markets to help them develop talent before they hit a big payday. We should embrace this fact and try to build our roster around young players and not guys like Lucic and Coleman. It makes it too hard to contend when you have to carry those cap hits on your books.

This fanbase is so soft. Bet Johnny reads this garbage and that's what makes him walk.

I am willing to take that bet. Pretty sure he has better things to be doing then lurking on CP and even if he did it's kind of ridiculous a bad post on a public message board is going to send him straight out of town, pouting the whole way.

Well he better not move to Philadelphia then. He might not like the fan base there, if he thinks we are bad

Not to defend ESPN, but they only broadcast more games than anyone. Their analysts include Cassie Campbell Pascal who might just have a little insight into the Flames. Just maybe a little?

Flames fans are unquestionably the tamest of all Canadian fanbases.
