Scolds the Flames for not even talking to Boudreau when Boomer asks if the Flames have tried to land a high profile candidate
Boomer suggests he doesn't want to talk about firing a guy but then accepts that GG is likely gone
My note - Love love love that media is finally talking about this team's lack of high profile coaching hires (and Flames coaches in general). This needs to be addressed

Well Flames owners have a decision to make.
Do they want to cheap out and have a higher risk of hiring another mediocre coach, or be willing to actually pay market value for a high profile coach that has recent history of success?
You get what you pay for. If they actually get in a coach with high credentials, then I'm sure the (hopefully many) playoff games alone over the multiple seasons would pay it off.
