Media from around the country have been nothing but completely biased against the Flames for years now. No matter what Feaster says they will assuredly have a problem with it. If they get Feaster fired, then it'll just be the next poor schmuck getting his throat stepped on whenever they(media) see an opening. Its not exclusive to this regime.

It was an incredibly stupid comment. The franchise is in the state that it is now because the powers that be refused to accept that the team needed to be rebuilt and kept making moves for the playoffs. Saying anything remotely resembling that the mandate is still to make the playoffs is terrifying. If his point was that he still wants his players to work hard and try to win every game, then he should have just said that and left it there. Unfortunately, he has a big mouth and doesn't know when to keep it shut. Personally, I hope that the media trashes him for making this statement every opportunity they get because maybe it will keep him from doing something stupid this off-season.
