Pros like Duhatschek wouldn't ever say they're a "Flames fan".
Lowe runs the media message and has for the 20 years he’s been GM or higher up there. Like the players he’s charmed, he keeps the local scribes close enough to be on his side to grt his message out there.

After that tweet, certainly seems that Lowe invited Staples to the exec offices for a regular lunch, and Lowe delivered his edict thst he wish to be dispelled to the masses. But it’s a common occurance.

It’s part of the MO that he saw Sather employ back in the glorious 80s where Sather had those guys like Jones eating out of his hand.
