Calgary Hitmen...Choke Artists?

Never really occured to me until today, after they blew another game in the last minute of play.

But this has nothing to do with this season actually, but more or less with there entire history.

Last season, 3-2 lead on the Warriors in the eastern confernce semi's...BLOWN
2 seasons ago 3-1 lead on Weaties in the eastern semis...BLOWN

^^-That year they were the number one ranked team in the country before the season, and they only got better adding guys like Tyrell Luca, Dylan Yeo, and some guy named Justin Pogge.

Maybe this has something to do with Kelly Kisio as our coach, I dont know though.

Look back to '99 I believe, Mem Cup final, I believe they were the heavy favorites and they managed to lose that game, after getting a bye to the final. Now I know Ottawa was on home ice, but still!

Anyways, I guess im just venting because of their last 2 losses, games which they were mere seconds away from walking away 2 points instead of one.

I just hope he's "gooder" than Rask. I'm tired of all the nooses being dragged out for JFJ after he traded Rask to Boston, when clearly Pogge is higher on the depth chart than Rask.

Ideally, Rask struggles to make the shift to the NHL, and Pogge comes in full flight. Then we can FINALLY feel like we got the better end of the deal, for a change.

Rask looked like junk at the World Juniors. I think JFJ made the right call going with Pogge.
