Hi,

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts were on the media attention that a team like the Flames have locally and nationally?

One of the reasons why I ask this is with regards to a team like the Leafs. Some people say that the media pressure there is almost impossible to fathom and hinders performance on the ice too.

I can see how Toronto or other major markets like Montreal and NY have bigger media issues but its not like other teams and sports don't have serious media too? Cowboys, Patriots, Lakers, Yankee's, Manchester United etc are huge teams but the pressure isn't being blamed on media types.

Anybody know how Calgary fairs with regards to media? How many outlets may cover the Flames?

Thanks
