[Official] Get your serving of crow with a piece of humble pie

[Master Bill]

Sean Monahan for me, I thought he didn't have the offensive creativity or instincts like he has shown this season. Something nice to be wrong about.

Engelland has proven me wrong. You are not overpaid.

This for me as well, I was not too thrilled with the signing, but he has been a good reason Hartley has been able to roll the Wideman-Russell & Brodie-Engelland pairings consistently, instead of just Wideman-Russell-Brodie.

 

[BVicious]

I ain't eating any crow.

I said we are playoff bound and Johnny hockey would score 60+ points.
Half way there.....

 

[Kipper933]

I guess Wideman I've been wrong about. He has been quite as much of a detriment that I remember him being, but he's playing more solid? Without Gio, we'd be kind of ****ed without him too. His cap money could still likely be used better elsewhere, in an ideal world.

Not so much eating crow, but I also didn't expect Brodie to be this good this quickly as he's progressed over the last 2 years.

 

[SmellOfVictory]

The primary crow I have to eat is for being adamant, until the last week, that the Flames would miss the playoffs. The crow is delicious.

 

[Taranis]

I guess ill just run down the list:

1. Being a bottom 6 team
2. Wideman
3. Johnny Gaudreau's rookie season point total

On the plus side these three things got us into the playoffs.

Congrats guys......Welcome back to the Dance...........Wish you well!

 

[Lunatik]

Bump.


I was wrong. Ortio would have been claimed today by the Isles with Halak's injury and them claiming Berube.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Should of listened to me.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Should of listened to me Dad.

Fixed.

 

[Anglesmith]

I definitely was adamant that Byron wasn't going to be going anywhere this season due to him being a favourite of Hartley's.

 

[Bouma Fett*]

Bump.

Same. Injuries change everything sometimes

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

I just want to bump this and say I was wrong about Smith.

I was very much against the idea of him coming here when we acquired him, but it didn't take me long to come around. I just didn't want to say anything that might jinx during the season Yes, his performance faltered after returning from injury, but I'm willing to look pass that cause a) he won us way more games than he cost us, b) I suspect he was never really 100%, and c) everyone shit the bed down the stretch and you can't win if you can't score.

 

[Lunatik]

I wonder when the Bennett Bunch will accept there serving

 

[InfinityIggy]

I was wrong about Smith. I am ready for my piece of humble pie.

I was right about everything else I’ve ever said though.

 

[DCDM]

I was wrong about Smith. Very wrong indeed. Happily wrong though.

I was also wrong about Bennett. Thought he would take a step forward. Sadly wrong on that one.

 

[Mr Snrub]

Was wrong about Bennett, I thought he was poised for a huge year. I was also wrong about Lack, I thought he would do well here, and was wrong about Tkachuk, as I thought he'd take a big step forward - not that he hasn't been good, I just thought he would break out this year. Also did not see Frolik's dropoff coming.

On defense I thought Gio was going to put up numbers again and it was a little disappointing to see him fall short of what I know he can do. Also expected Stone to be a hell of a lot better.

 

[FlamerForLife]

Was wrong about Smith, guy was our MVP in the 1st half.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

I was wrong about Smith. Very wrong indeed. Happily wrong though.

I was also wrong about Bennett. Thought he would take a step forward. Sadly wrong on that one.

Hey, it looked like he might do so, for about a month. Backlund took a couple years too. Might as well be patient now, selling now would be selling too low.

 

[SKRusty]

Like to see some Monahan love from some but they are too full of themselves to admit how wrong they are. 3rd line Winger.. pfft, Soft.. Pfft.

BT couldn't put more emotion into how much Sean tried to do down 2 legs and an arm.

Not bad we have the best one limbed C in the league.

EDIT

Oh and he still put up his best numbers yet.. 3rd line..

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Yep, I've got crow to eat on Smith too. I was literally furious when I read about the trade. Still not happy we couldn't find a more permanent solution but there is no denying his impact, especially on the first half to two thirds of the season.
