They are the hockey writers version of the confirmation bias.
Listening to the Lightning game on radio yesterday was revealing. That lunatic Mishkin or whatever his name is and Phil Esposito were all over the Lightning for sloppy breakouts and missed passes.
They beat Dallas 5-0.
They obviously have a higher standard that they hold the team to there.
Esposito is a Hall of Famer who founded the franchise so he can just about say whatever he wants about the team.
The organization is probably also comfortable being held to a higher standard.
Edmonton is not and Calgary thinks it’s media is decent because it compares and contrasts itself to the most embarrassing delusionally insane homers in the entire league.
