Maybe there's good reason to dump on the city.

I've been to Stockton. It's an absolute #### hole. I've questioned the choice of it as our AHL equivalent since day 1. McGrattan is 100% spot on in his evaluation of the city.
What has me perplexed is that it always seemed that the Flames were going to bring him back to a front office job/scouting/coaching etc. For him to go on a Calgary radio station when his NHL career over and essentially call Stockton and a lot of AHL cities #### holes makes me think he isn't a very intelligent person. He just bit the hand that could potentially feed him. We aren't even talking just about the Flames here, we are talking the league. Where the hell does he think his post NHL career will start? It most certainly won't be in the show, it will be in the ECHL and AHL.
It's the equivalent of someone who just got laid off from their oil and gas job, getting on social media and ####ting all over a company in the East, and then eventually applying for a job there.
