So maybe picking on ownership is not fair. They’re not the ones trying to execute the game plan either, that’s 100% Brad. We’re pretty fortunate in that we have an ownership group that can spend to the cap and do not meddle. So again, comes down to Treliving. He’s had a very ideal situation and let’s call a spade a spade here. He severely underperformed just like his players did.

I can see very clearly that you’re a Brad Treliving fan, so I’d be curious to know where you draw the line. At what point would you say enough is enough Brad, you’ve had your chance?

Also, that #2 pick in Laine or PLD is not what makes the Jets good. Heck, they were kicking our butts without Laine or PLD in the line up. The Jets are good because their core is lead by an elite #1 center in Mark Scheifele and they have built through patience by drafting great core players in every position. They have depth everywhere on the ice and if they still had Byfuglien patrolling the blue line, they probably would’ve been perennial Stanley Cup contenders last season and this season.

Good post. I’m not really a fan of scapegoating ownership without a little more evidence to support it.

And for all the moaning of our bad luck, losing Byfuglien for nothing was a big blow for them. Point is it happens to all teams and i’m not convinced Flames have more than their share.
