I find it's pretty correlated, as our team improves, it is often reflected in a opinion by many Flames fans that commentators or columnists or analysts that we used to feel were total crap are all of a sudden improving. I think it likely has less to do with improved reporting or analysis, versus the message towards the Flames is simply less negative.

I should have added to the original post that it's not just the Flames articles I'm talking about.
Some of the articles praising the Canucks (or even bashing them) and the Oiler stuff were especially bad. I can't think of specific examples now, but I remember reading his stuff in the past on any number of topics/teams and just thinking how amateurish.
Nowadays, he's a lot better, the quality of Flames teams notwithstanding.
