It's simply because they're the Calgary Flames. The same reason TSN analysts tore Feaster to shreds for going off the board and then 5 minutes later they commend other GM's for doing the same thing.
Fact is, the national media hates the Calgary Flames. Anyone that tries to say otherwise is simply being delusional.

It is hard to come to any other conclusion, really. Fact is, both Buffalo and Columbus also passed on Shinkaruk twice and they are both getting praised up the yin yang. Don't know why drafting "hometown kids" has anything to do with building a successful team.
