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.

It's not though, he's the GM of a team, what GM in their right mind would say, "Our goal is to tank again to get more first round picks," In addition to this Jay came out and qualified his statement by saying that what the organization means is nobody gets a free pass, everybody needs to work hard and the Flames aren't going to accept just losing.
Isn't that what EVERYBODY on the forums have been saying? We don't care if they lose as long as they work hard? The reactions in here and by some in the media (Eric Francis) are just ridiculous. Sniping certain comments while ignoring the rest.
