Agree, ironic some are calling it 'lazy journalism', when it appears they must have been too lazy themselves to read past the headline.
Spector has been very fair most of the year around the Flames, and even moved closer to fanboy-dom with some of his positive playoff pieces. He's consistently compared Calgary favourably to Edmonton all year.
I think his point was that everyone who is saying 'unsustainable' can crow that they're finally sorta right, but the truth is it was an unforgettable season. In the end, unless they won the Cup, there are always dummies that will say 'I told you so', but that doesn't change what happened.
A consensus bottom 5 pre-season pick ended up in the top 8 this year. Even the most die-hard fans of Calgary didn't predict that. Nobody is taking that away.
