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.

OK, but what type of question can be asked of Burke.
Players, coach all fall under the GM, no?
Legitimately, what is the scope of information Burke can comment on?
I will admit I didn't hear him, but from other posters on this form it appears he commented on the Flames top players not playing well, how they were forced to keep a rookie player. These are all the realm of the GM.
I think asking Burke positive player personnel questions, but not negative ones is disingenuous.
So he Burke gets prickly, good he should be.
I guess I wonder if this is media/journalism or lobbing of softballs.
