The media portrayal of the flames or most NHL team is through rose coloured glasses. They want to sell a product, and give you lip service as to what you want to hear. They're going to tell the public scripted lines to have hopeless optimism, but we'll never get the full picture.
They knew, they just didn't want fans to know. At the same time, if Johnny played it off like he was on the fence, but knew for a long time he wasn't coming back, that's on him, and his character. Lost all the respect I had for him yesterday.
