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.

The Flames were the darlings of media and TSN coming out of the lockout and the year after.
The only time they have been "crapping" on the team is now that the team has been in not only deniable but almost defiant F you denial about the state of the team.
There is no bias against the Flames and the media doesn't hate the team they just don't have the closeness or rose colored glasses of fans.
