It is a legitimate question, many fans see Grossman and honestly scratch their head.

So to be clear it is ok to ask about other aspects of the team's play, IE: the best players not being our best, but it isn't ok to ask about why we play a tugboat like Grossman.

Where is the line with what he can answer or be asked. In that case, all questions should be broad based general hockey operations, with no discussion regarding on ice play or player/coaching issues.

So what can "we" ask Burke?
Again, what would be the point of asking Burke that question, apart from making him prickly? Do you think you are going to get anything interesting in terms of a response? Is he going to suggest that his coach is making a bad call or his GM made a bad signing?

Moreover, I would strongly suggest that, of the things keeping the Flames' brass up at night, Grossman is a ways down the list.

Grossman hasn't played well at times, but he's not why the Flames have the record they do.
