Jay Feaster Fired as Flames GM

[mattola]

No, I think they are committed to a rebuild, for whatever reasons Burke didn't think Feaster and Weisbrod were the right guys to conduct the rebuild. I think a young rebuilding team with questions in goal and defense are prone to blowing third period leads, though.

fair enough.

LOL. Great find Matty.

Ohh how I wish there was still rep around these parts.

Homer: Do we really want Old Man Patterson with his finger on the button?
Ray Patterson: What button?

What?!?! Who said that?? Where are my false teeth??

@SNHockeyCentral Brian Burke tells @timandsid he is prepared to take over as GM of Flames if he can't find the right candidate.

I've looked in the mirror and I found the right candidate.

This could really ramp up the Burke - Lowe war of words, so at least that could be fun.

God I hope so....we could use some spice in Alberta these days.

Qualifications:
- Must be massive blowhard
- Must love the sound of one's own voice
- Must be willing to trade draft picks during a rebuilding phase
- Must love truculence
- Hatred of Kevin Lowe preferred
- Ties optional


Yup... I think Burke will find his man.

Truculence, belligerence, testosterone, and pugnacity....the four horsemen of the Burke-ocalypse

Makes me think that Sven Baertschi may not be with the Flames that much longer and that I'm not happy about - Burke already called him out earlier this season.

/Now if you can package him in a deal to land Evander Kane from the Jets, I would be okay with that.

Matty, call me crazy, but I think you photoshopped that image - Burkie's tie should be undone.

Sounds like Sven has been assigned to Abbotsford.

Sigh.

Flames trivia: Jay Feaster is still not the shortest lived GM in Flames history. Craig Button was at the helm for an even shorter period.

Ah yes Craig Button, the guy who traded Marc Savard for Ruslan Zainullin and let Martin St. Louis walk away for nothing...NOTHING!!

You will pay for your lack of pugnacity!!

So I guess former Flames prospect Ryan "Big As A" Howse tweeted this earlier today:

Wow Calgary one year too late on that one if that was last year I’d still be playing #zing #lovehockeytoday #iwannacomeback

Fat and lazy with no work ethic is why you're no longer playing hockey pal.
