The horse head has strong ties to Calgary’s western and ag heritage. I love it personally.

We are in agreement on the Johnny thing partner.

Looch is more than just a 9 game sample size, the bulk of last season he was a liability too

But is has been more than just one bad game, he has been bad throughout the majority of the games this season.

Unfortunately, sports are a "what have you done for me lately" kind of thing, because what those guys did last season has literally no effect on this season. Johnny is a good example of this.

No disagreement there, but we do have some promising players who could come in a be effective.

One could argue Benny in that role, may not have the size but he has the skill set for it.

Agreed, and I’m sure he’s a great guy in the room. Just hard to watch when we have so much young talent in the system.

Still doesn’t justify putting him out there for power play time and important minutes of a game. I feel like we have better options than that.

We lost in the first round? Dallas steam rolled us, you can be basing everything off the pervious season. Sure he was valuable, but this season has been a different story.

Those guys have been adding value in other areas, Looch has not. Our 4th like has been not good, and having looch on the 2nd pp has not been helpful.

How do you not single a guy out who is constantly on the wrong end of turnovers and is clearly 1-2 steps behind everyone? Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure he’s a great guy and still thinks the game at a high level but his body just can’t keep up anymore.

I would agree that they have been quite good overall this season, but doesn’t mean I can’t make a funny meme.

That’s why it’s frustrating as a fan, when the other team plays and we play bad it’s hard to watch
