Would these be the same media types that have been fellating the Oilers for their great strategy over the years? You know, they are building something special up there. I guess if Feaster wanted some credibility he should have started a docudrama like Oil Change so the media could continually chime in on how great a job he was doing? There are very few people in the media who have a clue. The got where they are because they can talk while having someone feed them information in their ear piece. That is an impressive skill, but doesn't qualify them to be an expert.

Also hf is a pretty big online hockey community and the flames were a punch line there for Feasters entire run as GM.

HF is the punchline to any joke hockey related. Have you seen the quality of posters on that site? Most of them are school age kids who don't have a clue. For every one good poster on HF, there are 100 who are embarrassing themselves with every post. For the Flames, there isn't a single good poster on that site, and unfortunately they are migrating this way. That board is filled with ridiculous commentary and brainless train proposals. It is a site for wannabe NHL'15 GMs. Not a community to use in your defense.

Even watching tsn the past couple years I got the impression most on the panel thought very little of the flames.

Again, who gives a #### about what the TSN panel thinks? How many years were they blowing smoke up the ass of the Oilers? They staked their reputations on the Oilers being a great team, so it would really suck for them if the Flames managed to rebuild a better product in a shorter time while working with poorer assets. There are certain teams that just aren't going to get the love they deserve, and Calgary is one of them, regardless of who is running the team. I seem to recall the media hating the Flames when Sutter was running the show too.
