I think this is essentially true, but once you hit rock bottom, there's no place to go but up.
I'm not a calgarian... of course the local media is gonna be rough on the team until they start winning, but I think that the national media bashing has peeked and will be in decline moving forward.
The nat'l media has been laughing at the flames for the last year or two, but now that the full rebuild is on, they are at least on the right track now.
Ownership is committed. They are willing to spend... a few smart moves and a but of luck and the flames are right back in it in a couple of years. I think the media was outraged that management refused to admit that they were not contenders - continuing to go for it against all odds.
I think it's only gonna get better from here.
