    In my opinion, the team not standing up for Tkachuk no matter what speaks wonders to how soft this team was under Gio.

    Tkachuk tried to change that culture and we cut off his balls. He was going to be the next captain before this play.

    The biggest take I had from this is seeing Tkachuk (Florida) and Anderson (Carolina) in this vid. Two Canadian teams lost quality assets recently.

    To be fair..What I remember is that no one really knew what happened until they saw the replay

    Nah, that moment was when instead of offering an 8 year deal (which likely would have been around $8mil per) Tre decided a 3 year bridge was best. That’s when I knew he would be gone.

    Your video was a learning lesson from him. Our shitty captain was gone the season after

  6. This incident feels like the end of the ‘Boy who cried Wolf’. Yes the Flames should have absolutely stood up for Tkachuk in this situation but all his antics prior made it very dismissible since no one else saw it and didn’t trust Tkachuk anymore.

    He used it as a learning point and matured. Good for him

    Lmao, our fan base is spineless. Gargling the balls of Johnney while shitting on Chucky. Now look at yall, I’ve been preaching this man since we got him and was always hated on.

    This didn’t change history. Chucky struggled with being stuck in Canada during COVID and couldn’t see his family. He was going to the US no matter what. He set up his contracts to make it happen

    We should have backed Tkachuk as a fanbase and organization.

    Instead, we backed a leadership group of Giordano, Backlund, and Monahan. It was the wrong decision for the health of the organization long term.

    Hopefully the next time we get a superstar (if we get one), we build the team around them.

    Can’t believe they let Tkachuk and Gaudreau go because the owner was too cheap to fire his dusty relic of a coach.
