Interesting articles and perspective.
What is frustrating me at his point is the complete lack of comments from the league. Considering the firestorm that this has generated, and the bad light that it has shed on one of the league's franchises, the league needs to clarify: either come out and establish that the Flames did in fact err, or come out and admit that they didn't.
I would suspect that the silence is a result of the fact that the league is uncertain and is scrambling to establish their position.
Again, if the Flames are in fact wrong, heads have to roll.
If it turns out they weren't then the league needs to step up.

I think the nuance here completely missed by the sports media is the fact that the league has to support one of their franchises but in doing so they give the players Association something that they would actually want. It's a bit of a conundrum. And much much more complicated than the simple articles in the daily rags would lead you to believe.
