Finally.

The weird, inexplainable, unfathomable, physically painful Nicklas Grossmann era in Calgary appears to be over, with the #big defenceman going on waivers today, destined for what we can only assume is the AHL.

Grossmann played three games in Flames silks, managing not to be a glaring hole in one of them. His first and third games - in Edmonton and Los Angeles respectively - were absolute horror shows, with miscues and errors in abundance. I realize this evaluation of his time in Calgary his harsh, but the guy just didn't look like a National Hockey League defenceman, and opponents simply feasted on this fact.
