I've been actually reading Spec's stuff nowadays without rolling my eyes.

I think some of that might have to do with the fact that Spector has essentially lost a lot of his voice in the Edmonton media. When Team 1260 switched to TSN 1260, Spector being a Sprotsnet affiliated guy lost his voice. He was a guest on every show, and had his own show...now he has nothing. I don't even know if he ever get's to go on 630 Ched and be heard. So unless he started being a bit more Flames friendly where the city has a Rogers owned Sports station, he has lost a lot of his media presence. Sure we see him on Oiler broadcasts, but no one is watching the Oilers anymore. At least on radio people in Edmonton who wanted to listen to Sports radio likely were tuning him in.
Like a politician needing to cross the floor to stay in office....Spector likely softened on the Flames hoping there is a chance to get some air time.
