this place would be a gold mine if gold was sh*t
Back in the day when there was some maturity on that board, and because a friends son played for the Flames, I enjoyed posting there from time to time...
Mind you they were always a pretty unruly bunch even back then, much like many who are posting on this board today are..
I remember making a suggestion that a kid by the name of Giordano was their best prospect which didn't go over very well in the pro Reghr Jr. camp, and they let me know it....
Mind you, they also blew off Roger Millions, so they weren't picky with whom they took a dislike to...
But you got to give the kids over there credit, I mean who else would have the gall to mock other organizations around the league as their team has gone thru a 7 year period of missing the playoffs followed by first round exits in 4 of the next 5 seasons, followed by their current streak of 5 years and counting of missing the playoffs....
And you could write a book about the dranconian methods of coaching their farm team employed...Who in their right mind would force a player to play a game with broken equipment just to teach him a lesson?...
Is their a more inept organization in the league led by maybe the worst executive in the league in Ken King?...
Not only has he been a disaster for the team on the ice, but off the ice the hatchet job he laid on Abbostford was embarrasing...
They have fallen so far that they are now irrelevant which for me is about as low as you can go...
Take care...
