The online betting BS I hate it in hockey games. Add to that the fact that to bet on sports in Alberta you supposed to do it through an Alberta gaming approved betting service.

Goes to show you where the Flames were on his list. He always wanted to be State side preferably in the NE but would never say it because it would hurt his potential offers in FA. I have moved on, most Flame fans have moved on, but he was never 100% honest with the Flames. I found JH gave us the gears he did not give us a chance to pull a pick out of it but I know arguing about anything on here is a waist of time. Doesn't matter what I disagree about I am wrong so I say my peace and leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These boards are meant for conversation and doesn’t have to be argumentative, could be opinion, hunch, fact, suggestion, BS, etc. It’s up to you if you want to carry on with a particular conversation or let it die. Johnny looked good last night, second best player on the ice right behind Korpisalo. The Flames and fans did JG right, they gave him his tribute moment, reminded him of the great things he did here and how much this city loved him….. then booed his arse right out of town, because that’s hockey. Johnny gave us 8 great years, but he didn’t want to be married any longer. Someone is getting hurt in a divorce. We’ve moved on. For the record, I’m a little sceptical about drafting USA college kids too but I’d draft JG again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tkachuk, on the other hand, told us early that we should break up so we didn't get false hope. And we made a good trade. I wouldn't boo Tkachuk at all because he left professionally and cordially but Gaudreau deserves to get boo'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 The fact that neither of the new teams, FLA and CBJ, are better off this year as the result of a big trade or a big signing should tell you something. The greatest players don't just get points, they help you win championships. We had years of both players. We did little. Two series wins in the entire history of both of them. JT left NY and they have more series wins since than Toronto does. FLA, even with Tkachuk having another career season, is turning into a doormat. I don't know that Johnny wanted to leave because of Sutter, but I get the sense that he didn't care as much about the game as Sutter does. You do everything the coach asks for, you leave it on the ice and at the end of the day, you don't win anything. A single moment of glory. The days of BC and winning meaning everything had been replaced with family. New wife, new kid on the way. Play at hockey and get to escape the fans at the end of the day. The loss of talent is immense, but I wonder if he did us all a favour. 8 years of a less intense Johnny. Never would have been money to sign Kadri. Mr. Intense. We have three players that know what's needed to win playoff games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
