Jones (and Kevin Lowe) must be very aroused to have a quotes of a former Calgary coach to serve platitudes about the Oilers team, the arena and organization, as a backhanded shot to Calgary and the Flames organization more than anything, as I am sure Jones also did when Risebrough became assistant GM up there back when.
GG is partially right, even if he made the playoffs year 2, it is inexcusable and a fireable offence on its own, that the Flames lose all games in a season against the Oilers and get one win out of the 9 games. Even when the Oilers were good in the days of kick save goalies, and 3 local tv channels with Gretzky putting up 200 points, or the various shortened lockout season, the Flames always beat the Oilers in a season.
