It is the same theme since the last few years of the playoffs to now, but let's not kid ourselves, it's got nothing to do with SN, CBC and TSN were the same last year and before, and would be this year.
1. Flames last few years of making the playoffs deserved the critique as they were drastically underachieving.
2. Flames post playoffs didn't recognize they needed to rebuild and deserved the critique.
3. Rebuild Flames have take. An approach most talking heads haven't agreed with (for some reason they want the burn it down Oilers method, cause that's been so good) and haven't picked the flames to fair well. As the Flames keep beating expectations, the talking heads look to minimize the progress because they don't want to look foolish about their previous critique. Frustrating no doubt, but not an SN issue per say.
