I really got to say I was beginning to lose faith In BT leading up to this free agency, but then he went out and did something like this and totally redeemed himself.

Our roster looked something like this 4 years ago.

Johnny Money Hudler
Bouma Backlund Jones
Glencross Colborne Raymond
Jooris/Stajan/ Granlund/ Byron

Gio Brodie

Hiller Ramo

Granted he is responsible for signing some of these guys I think, but to transform this team into what it is today! It’s been a slow process but all in all this team in my opinion looks amazing on paper and should be ready to compete with the best of them!

Johnny Money Neal
Chucky Lindholm Czar
Bennett Backlund Jankowski
Frolik Ryan Foo

Gio Brodie
Hanafin, Hamanic

Smith

BT is not afraid to make moves, shake things up so let’s just hope it looks better on the ice than it does on my computer screen.

There are absolutely no worse fans in hockey than Leafs fans, and it's comments like this that make ppl despise your fan base. It's a freakin' game first of all and second of all, what good does it do to talk down to others and act like a douche nozzle? I swear all your losing is karma for the horrendous behavior of your fan base

Yeah I was thinking last night.......Rebuild over. 4 years since they traded Iggy for peanuts.

Excited to see what they can do.

That's cute considering I by far have the most positive outlook on the Flames of anyone here.

Dude, if you said “most realistic outlook” you’d be closer to the truth. But that’s still not accurate. You would never, ever be confused as the most positive person in any situation.

The Neal signing was a good one... curious to see if the Flames can rebound next year with this lineup.

So spending most of last year arguing that the Flames could be a force in the playoffs if they could get everything firing on all cylinders wasn't positive?

Continuing to argue in the offseason that the Flames could be a top team in the West without making any moves wasn't positive?

Every year saying this is going to be the year when Bennett scores 30 isn't positive?

Defending Gulutzan, Brouwer, Stajan, Ferland, Bennett, Stone, who were all part of the Flames last year, wasn't positive?

Bringing up the stats that proved the Flames played well and Guluztan's system was working last year wasn't positive?

Thinking both Lindholm and Hanifin are going to thrive in Calgary isn't positive?

Saying the Flames undeniably won the Hanifin trade before and after wasn't positive?

Picking the Flames to win the Cup next year isn't positive?

The times I've been negative, I've been accurate and have been vindicated. I thought Ortio was overrated and wasn't good enough to be an NHL goalie. Who does he play for now? I thought Gilles wasn't ready for the NHL yet, how did last year go for him? I thought Hamilton was overrated and wasn't a good fit for the team. Guess what, so did the team.

Pretty much every person who regularly posts on here is far more negative about the Flames than I am.

Think Vegas dropped the ball here. By no means do I think this signing is a steal, but it's not horrible. A team like Vegas with cap space should've re-signed him.

You're in good company.



Hey Bud (you must be a bud, right?) Quick! Without thinking - what's the first word that you thought of when you saw this picture?
That's right!
Which is what we think you are too. Cheers

Don't insult Trump. He has managed to boost the economy and at the same time lower green house emissions. MAGA
