Not for us. The media will **** all over this team.
I suspect it was Daryll Sutter's complete contempt for the media circus, but whatever the reason, the sports media in Canada has a grudge against the Flames.
They will eat us alive. Mark my words. If this team doesn't win the cup in 2 years, we will start hearing about the 'failed rebuild' in Calgary.
I used to think it was just CP paranoia and bias, but over the last few years I'm more convinced that its a real phenomenon.

I think much of this is brought on by the overhyping and unrealistic expectation by the Flames organization. The fact is it will probably take a good 3 to 5 years before we ice a decent competitive team, barring phenomenally lucky circumstances...money alone won't do it.
