I'm no Eric Francis fan, but I'm all for the local media being tough on this team. They deserve it, and clearly aren't holding themselves accountable internally because nothing has changed despite years upon years of incompetence. It's time the Flames organization as a whole get taken to task by the media. They get a pass when compare it to other "hot" hockey markets.
Hey, you're not going to get an argument from me against holding this team accountable across all spheres. However, the way Francis sold this article with a definitive statement, when that statement is false, got the attention of his peers and he was rightfully called out. His rebuttal proved Miller and Dreger's point more than his own.

It was funny.
