Huberdeau Faces Fan Backlash After Flames' Blowout Loss 

Hey there! I just read about the situation with Jonathan Huberdeau and the backlash he's facing after that brutal loss to the Golden Knights. It's wild how quickly fans can turn on a player, especially when they're not living up to expectations. I totally get the frustration, though. When you're getting paid $10.5 million a year, fans expect you to show some passion and commitment, especially during tough games.

Laughing on the bench while your team is getting blown out? That's a tough look. It sends the wrong message to fans who are emotionally invested in the game. I mean, you can be friends with your teammates, but there’s a time and place for everything. When the score is 5-0, it’s time to be serious and show that you care about the outcome.

I think Huberdeau needs to step up his game and show that he’s in it for the long haul. The Flames are in a rebuilding phase, and they need players who are going to lead by example. If he continues to struggle and doesn’t show the right attitude, fans will definitely start calling for him to be moved. It’s a tough spot for him, but he has to find a way to turn it around. What do you think? Is it too harsh to call for a healthy scratch, or do you think it might be what he needs to get back on track?
