Hold yourselves to a higher standard, CP.

Lambert is Eric Francis on steroids. I, like many cpers, can only comment on the quoted part of the article out of a refusal to support him or any website he is related with for that matter. He has a pattern of inflaming a fan base from an uneducated vantage point. He amuses himself by cultivating half truths or blatant lies about a team he clearly hates to frame them negatively at every step.
So does anyone here need to do anything with a Lambert article other than dismiss it and him as complete garbage? Nope
With that said, I'm to understand from the quoted bits that his central point is the flames management wasn't ambitious enough this off season? Larf. Made biggest acquisition and best trade of any team. Somehow, Lambert doesn't think that upgrading wideman with Hamonic did anything. It was as big a hole as was in net and I think bigger. Wideman was by far the worst player on the team last year every single game. As soon as he stopped playing EVERYONE on the team got better. Goalies, dmen and forwards all improved measurably at that exact moment.
He makes stuff up about the age of our core, ignores that we have one of the strongest prospect groups in the league, and tries to make an argument for us being worse without chiaisson.
Ya, I get it, some here wanted tre to trade for Price. It's definitely an issue that persists. I feel like we went over about 30 options in net, and all of them sucked. Smith/lack is a lateral move or mild improvement. And it fits the flames timeline. They can be a great team with an average goalie and every other position has been improved.
So ya, that article sucks like all the rest of his. Next time I see his name pop up, I will attack him ad hominem, read the quoted bits and roll my eyes with disdain.
