I was a bit pissed that there was little acknowledgment of the positives of Calgary this year. This sort of effort has been there all season, it shows up as a come from behind win against a good team, and a blow out against Oiler teams.

Me too. We steamroll them by the largest margin in BoA history and the microscope is still on Edmonton the entire post game, and why they aren't good when they "should be" with all that "talent".
If there were anybody with sense on the panel, they'd lend a few minutes (especially after that killing) to talk about how great it is to see a team with the odds stacked against them working AS a team and accomplishing great things, even against the best in the league. Isn't that the kind of story you'd want to put out to, say, the kids watching who're in sports? You know, instead of this bashing of heads on rocks insisting that these few overpaid snobs that refuse to listen to their coach or commit to the team should be setting the league on fire. That beat was old last year. So what does it take for that to no longer be the expectation? Cause they don't look anywhere close to a team that's ready to compete to me, talent or not.
This kind of stuff is why I don't watch after hours anymore.
