Okay. I can give Spector a morsel of respect for outright admitting he was wrong.
Most people around the the Oilers would never publicly do so. Dancing around the truth and making excuses is often what they're best at.
The bigger issue is they don't learn. Hopefully Mark learns to hold his tongue next time he writes an article about the Alberta teams. Teams that are regularly competing in the playoff know full well the significance of a regular season series.. It often means nothing in the "macro" sense of things. Which he also said.
And re: his response, actually Glen and the coaches believed the Flames were doing a lot of things right when they were in the midst of that losing streak and that things would turn around if they stuck to it. So wrong again, Mark!
