Let me break this down one more time.

1. TSN predicts that we will do terribly.
2. Next year we make some moves that should improve our rank.
3. TSN ranks us even worse.
4. Flames miss the playoffs

Notice a problem between step 2 and 3? Yeah, thought so. They should predict us higher. At that point it doesn't even matter where we finish. Right from there you can see the bias against the Flames. Even when we theoretically improve.

That kind of stuff affects Vegas odds which you seem to hold so precious. Understand?
For the record, I never really thought the moves we made would make us better, and TSN is also factoring the age of the Flames core (Iginla/Kiprusoff).

I also have no family, friends in media... the only person I know who works in the media are 2 posters here on CP who I have never met in person.

EDIT : Added (4)
