Na, no retiring the jersey ceremony for poker man Lou.

He wins a f**king gold medal in that building then 15 months later, can't get the important prize with multiple opportunities

How about the Canucks' ROH?

Not trolling, just asking...

So, do the Flamers have their own version of Olaf?

Jusso Valimaki, a Finnish defenceman picked in the 1st round in 2017, just blew out his ACL during training and is out indefinitely.

Think that's appropriate.

Yeah, I agree. If Louie won us a cup or a Vezina or maybe if he didn't get traded back to Florida, then by all means his jersey should be retired. IMO he should just be ring of honor. I think he was close to the Aquas though, so I wouldn't be surprised if they retired his jersey anyways.

That's a decision only " the family" can make. Maybe the call Mike for some input.

I am with Blobbie on this one. If Lou wanted his number retired here (and his stats make it possible), he should have been traded back here, then gone on LTIR. But, he screwed us for $2.2mil in cap space for 3 years. Sorry if I don't support his jersey swinging from the rafters.

Maybe we can hang a beachball with his number on it

It might be... but Waddell is a Dundon puppet so he is probably neither.

Much better GMs are avoiding the Wild job as the hole might be even deeper than the one left by the AssProf.

It wasn’t Lou’s fault.
It was the referees swallowing their whistles.

No it wasnt specifically his fault but he couldnt stop a beachball when his team needed him to. He certainly didnt help

He had three excellent games and four poor games.

The twins and Kesler also didn’t do enough. The D was mangled.

None the less, there's no excuse for game 7, ino.

You wouldn't be able to stop a beachball either without pumped tires.
