FlamesNation Player Evaluations: Joe Colborne

It's no secret that Joe Colborne isn't exactly the most popular figure around FlamesNation. It's not that he's not a good hockey player, but (as we'll get into) his ice time and responsibilities on the club seem to be outstripping his on-ice performance.

It's a shame, too. He's a scout's dream: 6'5" and north of 200 pounds, he speaks well and he's a home-grown Calgarian. He's earned the semi-derisive nickname "Big and Local" as a result. Big and Local managed to generate some pretty solid offensive numbers this year, primarily late in the season.

Were his point and goal totals truly representative of his overall play?
