Frankly the Calgary Flames are like the person driving on the left side of the road, thinking it's everyone else coming towards them who is on the wrong side.
Edmonton could use a media that holds them accountable. Calgary could use management that actually cared what people think of them.

I sure hope Flames management never starts making decisions based on what the media thinks. Imagine a world where Francis and Dowbiggin actually influenced the Flames decision making.
