When was the last time a Flames player scored five goals in a game?
Answer: Joe Nieuwendyk, January 11, 1989 vs. Jets

That's the only time it's ever happened.

It won't happen again.

In honour of their advertising, I propose this offer:

The next time Where Are You Chris O'Sullivan posts 5 positive posts about Mikael Backlund in a row, everyone on this forum will have a chance to win $100 bucks from me.

I'd be curious to see how much the value of this "prize" has "decreased" with inflation since they first started offering it. The least they could do is keep that money in a solid 3-4% growth mutual fund until someone wins it in 2050.

I have never disagreed with someone as much as whoever is talking the fan about Gaudreau right now. I had to shut it off.

YOU TRIED PLAYING HIM ON ONE LINE EXCLUSIVELY.

It's not a bad move at all. Sitting a rookie from the NCAA for a single game near the end of an arduous road trip in which he has struggled is perfectly acceptable management of a young player. The overreaction is typical.

^ Here's a cool little article from 2007! about the Safeway Million Dollar score and win. Filled with math and such. Informative when not dizzying.

A scam is a fraud a.k.a. a crime.
A five goal score and win deal is a promotion, nothing more.
Publishing an accusation of fraud against a major corporation--or anyone for that matter--on a public forum is a bad idea.
And it's not in the best interests of the forum's owners/operators.

He and Backlund were our best forwards…no doubt.

On another note, I thought Hudler was awful. He really needs to pick it up.
