The only bad part is if they suck the oilers basically get a 2 round bye in the playoffs as our division is already garbage. But at least we get a better pick.

The last couple years I am convinced the only reason the oilers made the finals is because they had the easiest 1st round opponent in the league and had a chance to get their momentum and confidence up and stroll into the 2nd. If vegas is actually this bad they will get a muffin team in the 1st round and then have 2 easy rounds.

Karma bus hitting Andersson, lovely. Do contenders often get beaten 7-1 by one of the worst teams in the league you smug prick?

I don't get why posters drop to their knees for players who actively disrespected the club.

Refused to negotiate a reasonable contract with Craig, then gave the illusion an extension could reasonably be part of a trade with Boston or other teams, then pulled the rug out from Conroy, hurting the return.

Went to every player's prized market, which is in our division, and wrote about 30 words about the Flames, who drafted him and made him a multimillionaire.

Hopefully gets the Marner treatment, sans the cheering during the video at the Dome.

Or maybe he is playing double agent. I am going to go with that because I like Ramus.

Thank you, Rasmus.

I don’t think the Flames even really tried to sign Andersson which makes the tantrum funnier

Every player’s priority when he gets to UFA is himself

I didn’t expect Andersson or anybody to sign an extension to benefit the Flames

He's an employee, he owes the Calgary Flames and you nothing more than what his contract states. Stop being so entitled. The Flames didn't do him a favour by drafting him and "making him a millionaire" he did that himself. Sure his employer worked with him along the way but he doesn't owe anyone anything. Entitled fans are weird.

No problem with Rasmus at all.

If he led the Flames on until TDL day and then reneged on something that's different. It's January.........over a month to go and there was no gun at Conroy's head to make the move now, he did because he liked the return.

Should have sent a letter to season ticket holders, NYR-style.
