Not everyone spends 6 hours a day on reddit so this video is still very much fresh. And I mean come on, the original isn't even 2 years old..

Only AC has put together a more watched flames video than this one. No need to be a buzz kill about it.

If you want to put the time into a fresher meme, by all means go ahead.

If it's a well executed video then it is, doesn't have to do anything with if it's old or not. "Yeah, it's so old, I can't laugh at it anymore because I laughed to it before it was cool".

Did this strike a nerve? No need to be rude, I don't think you need to spend 6 hours a day on reddit to be qualified to have a different sense of humor.

Anyways, what an off season. I still have a hard time imagining having Gio, Brodie, and Hamilton in our top 3. Never did I ever think that trade would be plausible.

Maybe. There's no need to put someone down who spent their time putting a Flames related video together. It's not like you are putting an ounce of effort into making something better. I would also take exception if someone responded to an AC video with 'Is it just me, or were those highlight clips boring?'.

If you don't appreciate the work that's fine, but you can still show respect by not posting your distaste for it when everyone else is absolutely loving every second of it.

I don't think I ever put anyone down? If anything that was you with your reddit comment. If it came across that way, my apologies because that was not my intent at all.

I was genuinely curious if I was the only one who didn't find it funny or if I was missing something considering the large amount of praise.

Once again, no disrespect. I was simply voicing my opinion, since you know it is a message board.

I had never seen that video/meme before, I thought it was hilarious. And I am on the internet a lot. Behind the times I guess.

I don't want to get you fired from your job. Forget the word reddit.

This is the trade that just keeps on giving!

B's fans must have thought there was no more salt left to pour on that wound.

The Bruins would have been stuck with that penalty even if they had kept Hamilton.

But hey, it's still good for a giggle.

Sure, but they'd have had the player who was good enough to get those bonuses. Imagine a casual fan being told this by a more informed guy:

Big fan: Crap, we got hit by penalties because Dougie Hamilton got a whole bunch of performance bonuses.

Casual fan: But that means he's a really good player, right? So at least there's that...

Big fan: Ummmmm...

If it has to be explained you'll never get it.

I'm still surprised by this deal...very excited for this upcoming season.

Assuming everyone on D is healthy...do the Flames now have the strongest D core in the league?

I guess CHI and NSH might have something to say about that.

Yes, but do CHI's and NSH's D corp come with a theme song and blonde mascot? Didn't think so.

Dougie Hamilton is a Calgary Flame.

Every now and then I think about that and smile.
